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 findings. These 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!!!
