8 gm TOHO Beads Round 11/0 Matte Opaque Pepper Red
8 gm TOHO beads Round 11/0 semi Glazed Dark Red*
10 lb smoke colored fireline
2 gold finding rings**
1 gold bar from a funding clasp that will fit in the finding rings
Tulip or other brand size 11 beading needle
*I have lost the lable so this is my best guess
**I have also lost the recipe and never really new the size to begin with but please refer to the picture below.
Pictures of material for reference.
Instructions (sort of)
This necklass is made of two ply herringbone stitch. If you do not know how to do herringbone stich for beading. Then GTS because apparently I can't post outside links to tumblr. But it is very easy and thier are some very good tutorials out there
When you need to attach the rings add 7 more rows of beads. Then bend the work around finding ring and use herringbone stich to sew the work back onto itself in a loop.
For sizing
Figure out your desired length and double that for the total length.
Add the first ring then add the second ring a quarter of the length. Bead till the finished length then add the bar.
Here is a picture of the proportion of mine
If you have any questions please let me know I'm happy to clarify. I've never tied to make instructions before.
All the beads I ordered are finaly here so I spent a few hours with my bed covered with containers of sead beads like a dragon on her hord.
Beads make me very happy.
Jewelry by Michael Michaud, so dreamy
Drunk and sad :(
It's been a while since I had some medication issues but here is how the third is comming along.
It's a big scroll.
Each safety pin reperests a new 8g tube of beads
This morning, I want to work on my project, but I also do not want to leave my nice warm bed and more importantly, I do not want to spill seed beads in my sheets again
I am really interested in how many people who developed a crush on Palamedes Sextus also developed a crush on Gale DeKarios... For science. Clearly this isn't just for self justification.
For me it was the single beading needle that's I've been using for a month, in My bead, which I was planning to sleep in. Panic was appropriate
LOST SEWING NEEDLE INCIDENT NOBODY MOVE
The teeny tiny roman numeral charms have arived!
And it's perfect! I'm about to mess up a perfectly good necklace by adding these little fandom flourishes.
I'm so excited
Edit: I just dropped it on the floor. I should have done this on the floor . But to be fair this is not the first time the second has had some trouble on a table
I've never been terribly active here but I've returned to share my favourite patterns that make me slightly uncomfy and/or ready to star in an absolutely CRACKING sci-fi miniseries, please enjoy.
DEGEN ADULT EYES SWEATER by Lindsay Degen
Who WOULDN'T want this Biblically accurate sweater? The perfect attire for every horrifying occasion.
#22 Raglan Sleeve Pullover by Laura Zukaite
The rather staid naming of this sweater belies its Mad Max energy. After the apocalypse comes for us I hope we can at least dress like this.
Open Waters Shawl by Melanie Berg
A good shawl to wear to a duel to the death with your mortal enemy, if your mortal enemy has trypophobia.
Romanesco Jumper by Ranti Ehinmola
Honestly, the number of variations shown in the project photos for this pattern is amazing. Not only can you fulfill your dreams of looking like a 5th Element villain, you can do it your way.
DEGEN HOLE SWEATER by Lindsay Degen
This is a practical pattern for people like me who are in denial about living in a desert and stubbornly insist on wearing knitwear despite ample evidence this is a bad idea.
Wilderness by Martin Storey
I absolutely adore the 1950s farmhouse vibe of this photo and the beauty and poise of the model juxtaposed with the fact that she looks like a human bittermelon and she is fucking KILLING it
# 17 Patterned Sweater with V-Yoke by Sabrina/Sandra team designers
An unassuming mass-produced pattern from the 90s that, just coincidentally, looks like something you'd wear to head an intergalactic delegation.
Blume by Norah Gaughan
Speaking of space sweaters, here's another that wouldn't look out of place on the bridge of a starship.
Mullion by Martin Storey
This one, on the other hand, looks more like attire for a... space council?
Space Odyssey by Anna Strandberg
This pattern is literally called "Space Odyssey". The author definitely knows.
Dark Moss Pullover by Teti Lutsak
Bringing things back to Earth, the way these broad cables fade into the fabric reminds me of my desire to be buried in one of those mushroom suits after I die. Your interpretation may vary.
Waterbender by Yiğitcan / Pufido
The ultimate in dramatic sleeves.
Day Dreams by Stacy Collingham
Finally... I think the Power Rangers fought this sweater.
