Santa's Coming T-Light

SusanJ@63 — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:34:22 GMT

Santa's Coming T-Light Done in Brick stitch (If you turn it sideways it is peyote stitch) so it is what ever you are comfortable stitching. With Green Background, crystal beards, Red hats and yellow pom pom on top There is a different Santa face everywhere you turn it. Topped off with 3mm sworski crystals and when it is lit the crystals sparkle. What a great gift to make for the craft sales, or Christmas craft shows. T-lights are so pretty to have around.

Pearl Necklace

Antiquity Travelers — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:10:10 GMT

Another installment from my Turkish friend. Along with the coral beads she inherited from her mother, she also received this beautiful old strand of pearls. I restrung them using lapis lazuli as a highlight throughout the setting. She also decided she wanted a focal bead so I brought in several for her to choose from and she decided that the Chinese enamel was the style she wanted. They look amazing on her!

My second embroidered cuff ever. Although the edging was a challenge because of the cut of the cuff and the shape of the beads, it still worked out in the end.
