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.

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 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.

Bead embroidery with metal filigree
This is my first attempt to use metal filigree detail in bead embroidery. In this simple pendant I used also glass cabachon I colored myself and different seed beads.
I wanted this lovely bronze filigree to be the star of this pendant, so I didn´t covered it with lot of beads. Just added some for color and texture.

Green and bronze bead embroidered earrings
Long time ago I started with green earrings. I finished beaded components and so they staid for a whole. Because I couldn´t find appropriate earwires. I tried usual post earwires with little beaded components on them. But it wasn´t so good. I tried usual hook earwires, but they were too small lightwait for these big earrings (beaded part is almost 4 cm long). Finally I found these bronze earwires and I think they are perfect.

Pink bead embroidered necklace
In December I made a pair of earrings with pink glass cabachons.
But when I had joined these tree tiles together, I felt it would need something more. I took two smaller cabs and continued stitching. So I finished with a necklace with five embroiderd tiles.
When I took part of local Christmas fair, one lady bought these earrings and wanted to have matching necklace as well. Now, after some beading brake I took bigger class cabachons and started embroidering. At first I planned to make this necklace with three embroidered tiles. Something similar like this red and white necklace.

I used clear glass cabachons that I colored with two different nail polishes and different seed beads. These lovely pink ones are Toho seed beads in size 6/0. They are transparent color lined beads and have nice greenis shine. I used black round glass beads for the chain.
And backside of beaded tiles is covered with black ultra suede.
