Flowers of India

Hi, lovely readers!

Today, I would like to share with you a giveaway I am entering. It is hosted by Diana Costa, a jewellery designer from Barcelona, Spain. You may have already heard about her as she designs beautiful peyote patterns for bracelets, among other things she puts for sale on Etsy. My first peyote bracelet used a pattern from Diana. You can read about it, HERE.

  This is my own version of the Flowers of India pattern. 

For this giveaway, ending on the 31st August, you'll have to make one of the many peyote bracelets designed by Diana. The prize is a set of beads worth €80,00, including Miyuki delica seed beads, Twin, Tile and Pip beads. More information can be found at her own site, HERE.


Enjoy the day!

Conjunto de jarina / Tagua Set

Olá amigos e sejam bem-vindos os novos leitores!
Hello dear friends. Welcome to new members!

Recebi da empresa Ecuadorian Hands contas de jarina de diversos feitios quando ganhei um sorteio no blogue Beading Arts. Curiosamente, está em curso um novo sorteio, onde qualquer um pode entrar, atenção que termina dia 12! Fica aqui o link.
I was a winner in a giveaway at Beading Arts blog for Ecuadorian Hands tagua beads. If you are interested in winning gorgeous tagua beads from this company, there is a giveaway going on at the moment. It will end on the 12nd and here you can go directly to the giveaway post.

Recebi tudo isto!
I got all this stuff!

Hoje vou mostrar-vos as minhas primeiras criações e o que fiz com algumas destas contas que têm 7 mm de diâmetro.

Today I'll show you my first creations and what I've made with some of these 7 mm round beads.

Usando o laranja como tom principal, criei um colar muito comprido, uma pulseira e uns brincos.
I've created a very long necklace, a bracelet e a pair of earrings.

Colar muito comprido em fio encerado de poliéster com contas de metal, de howlita e de jarina em três tons (laranja, azul escuro e castanho). Pode ser usado com duas voltas e tem fecho.
A very long knotted necklace made with waxed polyester thread, metal, howlite and tagua beads in orange, dark blue and brown.

Pulseira de nós com três fios e contas de jarina só laranja e contas de vidro azul, missangas variadas e um guizo junto ao fecho.
A knotted bracelet made using orange tagua beads, blue glass beads, seed beads and a bell close to the S clasp.

Brincos com jarina laranja, vidro azul, missangas laranja e berloque estrela do mar.
Earrings with orange tagua beads, glass beads, seedbeads and starfish charm.


Com estas contas de jarina da Ecuadorian Hands tenciono fazer mais dois colares, um em amarelo e outro em castanho.  Queria agradecer à Ecuadorian Hands do Equador sem a qual não seria possível ter acesso a estas contas leves, coloridas e divertidas. Voltem em breve e tenham uma boa semana.
With the beads I have received I plan on making a yellow necklace with the yellow round beads and a brown necklace with some of the tagua slices. I would like to thank to Ecuadorian Hands for this gift. If I hadn't got it, I wouldn't have had access to these light, fun and colourful beads. Come back soon and have a great week.
