Latest Beaded Wedding Bouquet

beaded wedding bouquet



This is the arrangement I came up with after making beaded flowers for a customer to add to her wedding bouquet. In the end she used all of my beaded flowers and some other crystals and things. It was an amazing arrangement, and I'll post a blog about that another time.

I've used almost all the same flowers and stems I made for her arrangement, and there are nearly 60 stems all up in this arrangement. I've used tulle in the arrangement, for the collar, and for the handle. I've then done a clever wrapping technique with satin ribbon around the handle.

This bouquet is available to buy from my website: Flower Cove

More Spirals again






So here's the Cellini spiral. I've used size 10 seed beads in olive green, then size 8 seed beads in silver-lined lime green, and gold silver-lined seed beads in size 6. The pearls are 4mm greens. I've made it gradually narrower towards the back.




And this is the other spiral rope that is basically an embellished right angle weave.




I'll be photographing the other dutch spiral soon, and I'm making a tight spiraled herringbone rope as well and then I think that will be all the spirals there are.

More spirals are listed here:

Spirals, spirals and more spirals

So, I finished the "zulu bracelet" and the "flat spiral" bracelet But then I realized I'd given away the" single spiral rope" and another type of "Dutch spiral", without taking photos. So I'll make these two types again. I also discovered I still hadn't made the "cellini spiral", and "peyote spiral", so I'll make these soon as well. There is also another spiral I'd never seen before which was just called "spiral rope".

I decided to make a spiral button for the clasp as well. I love the way it turned out!

I've started the "single spiral rope" and I've nearly finished the 3d teddy bear. Then I'll make some more spirals. You can see them all on my website http://craftcove.weebly.com

Beaded Spirals

I've made so many different types of beaded spirals, and I've now discovered a new one! This new spiral is called the "Flat Spiral". I'll be making it soon.

The ones I've already made are: "Dutch Spiral", "Spiral Netting", "Aussie Spiral", "Russian Spiral" and "Double Spiral Rope". A couple I meant to do at some stage but never got around to doing were: "Triple Spiral Rope", "African Helix" and the "Cellini Spiral". I'll get around to them all at some stage, but I'm always finding other beading projects to do. Currently I'm making my second 3D beaded teddy bear from 3Dbeading.com, and I'm alternating that with my first "Zulu" Beaded Bracelet. It's not often I make more than one of each item, but I loved the teddy bear so much, I just had to keep one for myself.

You can see all my work on my web site Craft Cove

So next on my list will be the "flat spiral".
