Sunny bead embroidered butterfly brooch

This bright yellow and red butterfly brooch is a real summer jewelry peace.

 I used two different tones of red and bright warm yellow to color these glass cabachons. This is the second butterfly where I didn´t used black seed beads to surround the wings. The first one is the one with teal and light green that landed on a hair barrette when I used gray seed beads. All others have some black seed beads also.  

But this time I wanted to make one really colorful and bright butterfly. Butterfly body is still black, as I didn´t had suitable brown beads. But I think black body makes nice contract with these yellow-red wings. 

Wings have also some glitter :) 

And backside again is covered with black ultra suede and has golden brooch pin. 

So much about colors  ...  next butterfly will be a monochrome one in gray and black.

Orchid violet jewelry set

Today I listed a new orchid violet jewelry set to my Etsy shop.  Again butterfly :) and small matching earrings. 

Materials are the same - glass cabachons and different seed beads. Backside is covered with black ultra suede and it has silver colored metal brooch pin. 

Earrings are simple lever back cameo earrings. Glass cabachons are exactly the same as butterfly wings so they make perfect set together. Cameos are small, 12 mm (0.5 inches) so they are light and perfect for everyday wear. 

And one more closer picture of earrings. 

White butterfly brooch and earrings

This time I shoe you white bead embroidered butterfly. This one has clear white, a little glittering wings. I used different silver lined, black and clear seed beads to surround glass cabachons I used for wings. 

And this butterfly has matching earrings. Small lever black earrings with white glass cabachons. 

And here is white and black butterfly attached to my new jewelry tag. As I like my butterlies so much I used butterfly motif to design these tags.

Colors of Estonian spring

More butterflies

  I have some butterflies waiting to be finished. I got a new portion of brooch pins today, so I can finish them soon. 

 And one finished  bead embroidered butterfly brooch. This light green butterfly has also glittering wings.

Bead embroidered jewelry set

This tanzaniite purple blue butterfly is with a little different color combination compared to the first one. I used the same color glass cabachons, but different seed beads. This time I used 8/0 size gray silver lined Toho seed beads and smaller ones in black and silver. I stitched the edge with smaller silver and and a little bigger blue seed beads that leave the edge a little lacy.

This butterfly has silver brooch pin and backside is covered with black ultra suede. 

 I made two pairs of matching earrings to complete the set. 

One pair is bead embroidered and more luxury for occasional wear. This time I used bigger drop shape glass cabachons and the same seed beads as for butterfly. 

Earrings have silver colored nickel free stud earwires. 

 The other pair is smaller and suitable for everyday wear. I used small (12 mm) glass cabachons and dark gray lever back earwires. 

This brooch and earrings are listed in my Etsy shop.
