My "Images" YOJ Piece, Iconic Silver Fern.

Well here it is... my twist on the "images" yoj theme, I decided to use an Iconic Image we are all used to seeing.
The Silver Fern,
I did send it to the beadaholic comp but alas not a mention, never mind. I used the herringbone stitch and made all the leaves individually and then sewed them all together with graduated swaroski bicones, it all took awhile... and then attached a brooch pin at the back...phew... I still love it!!! Now this pic is the first of my "tease" on the TM board and took me about 3 1/2 hours to make last night and measures 38 inches long....
This piece of the necklace uses "the chevron chain stitch" with sz 15 hermatite, sz 11 silver lined seed beads and then a couple of silver glass pearls, a black 12mm czech & 2 pale gold czech beads.

So now onto the second part of the necklace, which I will post in a day or so. Hugs leeanne.

Good morning divas......

Another lovely rainy day (always seems to be raining when I blog).



Hmmm interesting! Have just taken pics of my September YOJ (Images). The image is a wee wee little pic of 'baby me' art gelled onto a button and embellished around with seed beads into a netted pattern. I've also added a couple of baby bell flower beads at the base of the beaded bail. I've put it on a ribbon for the time being, might change that at a later date, and the clasp is one of my favourites, a 'copper' flower toggle clasp. Ok, time to get out of the jim jams and start the day! Have a great day. Jen.

YOJ: Images

Hey guys,

Miss8 is home sick today, so just grabbing a few moments to try and catch up on some stuff while I can :)

Here's my YOJ for September - the image is glued to a glass dome and then peyoted around. The "strap" is also peyoted, trapping Swarovski pearls. The purple teardrops are Cubic Zirconia's.

I love the Victorian look of this :) Hope everyone is going well with their YOJ's too - can't wait to see them!

Catch up soon!

Amanda :)
