As Promised!

As promised....pictures of my two newest bead embroidered pendants.  All they need is a nice matching leather necklaces.  

I have been beading!

Really I have!  I finished all the bead embroidery on my Queen of the Masquerade Ball neckpiece.  I intend to attach the neckpiece portion this coming week when I take some time off.  I finished the Three Pink Muses bracelet, also bead embroidery.  Right now, I am finishing up a project using a beautiful Amazonite heart shaped cabochon all done in greens....my favorite color.  

Just looked at my photos, but can't find any of the above.  I guess I'll have to take new ones and post them in the next few days :)

New Pattern on The Beaded Cat!

Continuing to feed my need for Art Deco women's patterns, I made another pattern featuring a beauty getting ready for a night on the town.

This pattern is available as an instant download for either LOOM or THREE DROP PEYOTE.  

Most bead weavers are familiar with peyote stitch, and even two-drop peyote.  If you have never tried three-drop peyote, you really should.  It's even more supple than two-drop peyote and quick to work up.  

This is one of the pieces that I've done in three drop.  I like it better than the loom version. 

 

Digitization of The Beaded Cat Continues

Digitization of The Bead Cat on Etsy is continuing.  It really takes quite a bit of time, but I am checking every pattern to make sure patterns are up to date and available in all the stitches advertised. I think I'm on page 4 of 7 pages of patterns. 

 

The Beaded Cat Goes TOTALLY DIGITAL!

Been a LOOOOONG time, again.  I really am going to keep up with this from now on.  I want to post twice a month at least.  Today, I want to announce that my Etsy shop...The Beaded Cat...will be offering all patterns as instant digital downloads!  I have been emailing some of the patterns, but as soon as I am done going through all the patterns, I'll have every pattern in every version: loom, peyote, two-drop peyote, sometimes even three- and four-drop. 

I want to be sure every customer gets their pattern as fast as possible, and living in Hawaii, it's not always been possible.  

It has begun!  Stayed tune for more!
