As you can see from my blog I have done quite many beaded butterfly brooches. And some days ago I finished one with golden wings. I used black seed beads to surround the cabachons and lovely Toho gold lined seed beads (size 6/0) to finish the edge. These beads are so beautiful - they are gold lined and look a little like frosted, but they also have swome gray and green shine.
Actually I colored these cabachons quite a long time ago and I had also these golden Toho seed beads waiting ... but somehow they just staid for waiting. Now one day I took these cabs and beads and started stitchong.
I like the color of these golden cabachons. They are like glowing in the center of black beads. Brooch is like others with metal brooch pin on the back and backside is covered with brown ultra suede.
As I liked the combination of these colors I made also one round shape brooch fot those who like more classical shapes.
And after fisinhing these two brooches I took two 12 mm glass cabachons and colored them for matching earrings. I have used
this design before for black and pink earrings last winter. These earrings are small and lightweight.
And here you can see earrings and round both brooch together.
And here are the same earrings combined with butterfly brooch.
And I found that I have done also a pair of simple lever back earrings eith the same golden glass cabachons.
I made also matching black and gold shoe clips that I will show in next post.
