Reveal Day of 11th Non-Blogger & Blogger Challenge

Here my work for The 11th Non-Blogger & Blogger Challenge. And the host is Dini Bruinsma, the winner of the previous challenge. When I decided to join this challenge, it's because the word of FOREST. So I kept in my mind about the hues of green. Cool to play. So I made the base at first, full of light green -white - dark green mixed together. Finished. Then I got back to Dini's painting which is the source of inspiration. DANK!!! No green. If there is a green color, it is very vague. Ohhh My...
...The Inspiration...

 I can't change the base, so to matching with the inspiration, I used white and yellow and dark amber at the leaves part. And for the necklace, I picked blue hues and bronze. Synchronize between the inspiration and my work, so I chose 1st winter for the title, cause my work just like first winter scenery at The Twilight Movie's forest which took place at Silver Falls State Park.
 For the leaves, I used Russian leaf technique.
The leaf's colors transform into many, cause there is fresh leaf, there is fresh leaf covered by snow, there is leaf yellowing due autumn covered by snow. The flowers are ready to fall, to welcome the winter in. My imagination wander everywhere. 

 The leaves and the base are made using 11o round miyuki and the flowers are Czech glass beads
 The fringe and its colors represent the presence of sunlight in the winter, which enter into the forest through the trees's gap that began to lose its green color.
I combined right angle-weave technique with fringe technique for photo above. I used 11o round Miyuki + Czech glass lentil beads.
 The toogle and clasp is from Vintaj. I love its color. To give a beautiful impression, I added Czech flower glass bead.
 The last technique is stringing. Here I played with many colors contained in Dini's painting.
I used a lot of kind beads for the necklase...from translucent blue Gudo lampwork beads...and stripe blue pepper Gudo lampwork beads...plus dyed blue round agate gemstone beads and natural white faceted Botswana agate gemstone beads...to mauve Czech glass pearls and brown iris Czech glass drunk round beads...

Reveal Day For Ornament Blog Hop


Finally, I finished my first ornament handmade for Art Bead Scene challenge. Little bit blur about the idea. So when I found rattan circular, I began to make simple sketch. You can check HERE my rough sketch for this ornament. Ready to read lengthy description?!? I call this...

...X-mas Mistletoe...


Cute bird hide in the thick mistletoe. The cute bird is handmade polymer clay bead by FABs. The base for the mistletoe embellished, I used 11o MGB delica shape in circular peyote stitch technique. I used sono thread for the whole design.
The mistleto leaves from Miyuki 11o in branch fringe technique, so does the mistleto branches , in Miyuki 11o but for the branchess I used herringbone technique. Meanwhile, the ripe red fruits, those are Gudo pepper glass beads.
I love the red accent from the beads. So perfect for christmas theme.
Lately, I used fringe technique frequently. For leaves, coral, algae, branches and sometimes for beaded tassel. I love the way they dangle, so natural.
The black circular rattan actually is handbag handle *wink* I found in the pile of ingredients for my mom's sewing. So perfect for ornament right. The yellow cross is lightweight color coated brass stamping by Ezel findingsThese filigree stampings are made of brass and coated with a semi-flexible color coating. Can be gently bent or wrapped without damaging or cracking the color coating. Amazing right...The beaded bail I made from Miyuki 11o and 13o using circular peyote stitch technique.
Do you see the daisies?  I learned to make Potawatomi Daisy Chain. Not too neat laahh, but ok right *grin*
DONE!!!
