I’ve been incredibly sporadic with my postings for the last year…. sometimes it’s because I’m beading…. sometimes it’s because I just don’t feel like writing… well I’m happy to say that the reason I’ve been silent lately is because I’ve been busy beading! :-)
A Hazy Shade of Winter is my entry for the EtsyBeadWeavers’ December Challenge “Simon & Garfunkel – The Songs of Inspiration”. I love that song and its title inspired the colours for this new bag, the first in a new line of beadembroidered bags I will be creating for my shop.
A Hazy Shade of Winter – OOAK Wrist Bag
I’m so pleased with how this bag turned out!!!!! I love everything about it!!!! from the beadembroidery to the crocheted rope!!!
The bag was designed around one of Lisa Peters Art’s gorgeous handmade ceramic cabochons, grey Swarovski crystals, smokey grey Czech glass cabs, antique silver, antique gold/bronze, metallic black iris and ivory Japanese seed beads. The strap was crocheted with metallic black iris Japanese cubes.
I’m 3/4 of the way through a second bag… but it’s taking me longer than I expected… so I might not finish it before next week, but as soon as I do, I’ll post the photos!
Please visit the EBW blog, http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com between the 9th and 15th of December and vote for your favourite entry.
And to all who celebrate it…. Happy Thanksgiving!!!! :-)
Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTriz, your wrist bag is utterly exquisite! The colours are rich and decadent, and your stitching is perfection. This little bag would be perfect for a night out on the town ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think any issues you had with finishing (I was just reading your last post), you have well and truly conquered! Amazing work, you just get better and better! :-)
