Frit-Happens !

Bit of a labour of love! Never tried a collar before - don't know if I will again - it took forever! I am pretty pleased with how it worked out though.  ;D

O'h WOW that is breath taking.

I have been known to do bit of beadweaving myself so I have a pretty good idea of the hours of work that have gone into this  :o It is beautiful!

Beautiful indeed - a work of art!

Stunning!! :)

OMG! :o

That is just..............stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you weave or embroider it?

LOL! That would be so funny!!
Hi Terri! - it's embroidered, and backed with grey Ultrasuede :)

ooooooerr that's gorgeous, looks like it was a labour of love,  I could just see it on a grand lady in some period drama!

I keep coming back to look at this...it is so beautiful!

How on earth did you make it?

Thanks Kath and Shirl - just lots and lots of sewing!

Do you mean you start with cloth and just stitch the beads to it? (sorrry to seem to stupid )

Pretty much! It is quite a quick thing to learn,  - there are some videos on YouTube, and a few really good books if you fancy having a go. :)

Thats just beautiful Izzy !!!!

I've done some cuffs with bead embroidery - nothing as stunning as this though - using ultrasuade and a cuff blank.  It always takes longer than you think it will, a loads more beads than you thought it would.  But, I prefer it to weaving.  I love the look of bead weaving, but just don't have the aptitude or patience.

I would love a collar like this - but I never seem to have the opportunity to wear such a stunning piece. :'(

You've got me thinking now - I have been trying to think of a piece of jewellery for my elder daughter for christmas - perhaps a pearl encrusted cuff will be just the job! ;D

Wonderful Izzy!  :)

I might look into this, I would like to have a go as I used to do a lot of sewing and embroiderie years ago, but think I had better start on a smaller scale ;D

Now I just need to find more hours in the day!

That is completely gorgeous - all that subtle colour and textural detail - I love it!  ;D

Gosh, that is stunning!

Whoah! That's stunning, I saw the amazing bead you gave to Lynne too, just wowza

You are all too nice!! Thank you ever so much xxxx

It's lovely.
Gorgeous colours
