Here we go

Here are pictures of some of my work.
I plan on having a section dedicated to beading tutorials. Since i haven't found a well documented tutorial collection, i will post links to tutorials i find the most useful.


So this is a bracelet made with 4 mm glass beads (about 20 grams) in right angle weave , then a type of fringe and the toggle and clasp are sewn with a flat peyote stitch. For the fringe and the toggle and clasp I've used a combo of goldish and green seed beads mix (round 2 mm and tubular 2 mm beads).
Since this was my first beaded piece, I've used two types of thread: one was surgical thread for the right angle weave, and for the rest i used really thin fishing line.


The bracelet in this picture has 20 strands of beads (see how to here ); The necklace is just a simple twisted one, on which i added a glass pendant with a peyote triangle (will soon post a tutorial for this one).
Beads used: 2 mm light blue, black, grey silver lined  and honey brown seed beads; 3 mm metal coated plastic beads. Also used 0.14 mm fishing line.


Since this was intended as a set, i made these 3D triangle peyote earrings (will also post my tutorial for this stitch).
