Beaded Bottle # 1

Bubi's Eye Drops Bottle 1

For the past 8 years I've been saving Bubi's eye drops bottles. It was about time to start beading some of them, so here's my first one! :-)

The plain bottle is 1 and 1/2 inches tall (4cm) and the diameter is almost 1 inch (2,5 cm).
I used size 11/0, 15/0 and a few 8/0 Japanese seed beads; Delicas, Charlottes, Czech glass pearls 4mm, Swarovski rivoli 14mm.

Jewel of India & Frangipani Caterpillar

Jewel of India bracelets.Designed by Kathleen Kimball-Baker Beadwork magazine Oct./Nov. 2004

Frangipani Caterpillar bracelet. Designed by Roxanne Thoeny. Beadwork magazine June/July 2003

For the Jewel of India design, I used a different turning technique because I didn't want any thread to show up at the edges.
There are more pictures in the photo album.

Misty the Wingless Fairy

Misty

Misty is a little doll, measuring only 4 and 1/2 inches from the bottom pearl to the top of her head.
Most of the beadwork is done with size 15/0 Japanese seed beads, with a few size 11/0 Japanese and Czech seed beads.
Czech pressed glass flowers and fresh water pearls.
I gave a little make up to a polymer clay face that I got in a swap with a friend (Thanks, Carol! :-) ).
For the body I used a pretty lilac plumeria Hawaiian fabric. That's about it. :-)
