Bead embroidered butterfly hairclip

This is my second bead embroidered butterfly with glass cabachons. I colored these cabachons myself and used three different nail polishes this time - greenish yellow, transparent with some glitter and teal. 

I used different seed beads and round glass beads for butterly body. I used also lovely pale yellow shibori silk ribbon made by Deborah Weaver.  

This hairclippe is quite big. 

I used silver colored hairclip blank and covered the backside with gray felt. 

Bead embroidered set in teal

I started with big glass cabachon (30 x 40 mm) that I colored myself with nail polish. I surrounded it in peyote stitch with lovely silver lined gray Toho seed beads (8/0), black Czech seed geads (9/0) and solver Toho seed beads (11/0). I used also fire polished Czech glass beads.

 This pendant has black silk ribbon (1 m long) so you can tie it yourself and decide how do you want to wear it - short or long.

I made also matching earrings. I used smaller glass cabachons and the same seed beads. Earrings have sterling silver earwires.

And here is the set all together.

Pink and black bead embroidered earrings

These colorful earrings have syntethical turquise cabachons in the center. Cabachon is surrounded with Czech seed beads. Plus big pink turquise dagger for extra.

Golden bead embroidered earrings

In last post I presented headband with golden bead embroidered butterfly. I made also matching earrings.

I used clear glass cabachons in drop shape and colored them with the same golden nail polish as I used for the butterfly. Then surrounded these cabs with different Czech seed beads and added lovely flower post earwires. Backside is covered with felt.

And some idea about the size of these earrings.

Here you can see the set - headband and earrings - together.

Headband with golden bead embroidered butterfly

Recently I happened to see many very beautiful bead embroidered butterflies in Pinterest. For example this and this one. So I wanted to try to make my own butterfly. 

 I used clear glass cabachons in two different sizes and colored them with golden nail polish. 

I used different Czech seed beads - black, black with bronze luster and golden ones. And some faceted glassbeads for butterfly body.

I attached my butterfly to a metal headband and covered the backside of beaded detail with black felt.

Green rivoli earrings

These earrings are really sparkling due to green Swarovski rivolis I used as center. I used 14 mm rivolis and the tone is peridot. I surrounded them with Czech superduos and different Toho seed beads.
