Hey, everyone! I’ve been playing with those gorgeous Picasso 15/0’s I was telling you about in my last post and wanted to share what I’ve been working on.
First, I worked up a pair of my Dainty Duo Drop earrings with the Seafoam Picasso 15/0’s.
I used a combo of teal and purple beads with some shiny SuperDuos and a two-toned crystal drop. It’s not really in my comfort zone as far as colors go, but I like how they turned out!
Next, I used the Red Picasso 15/0’s to make these vaguely Christmassy earrings.
The earrings units an embellished version of the base unit that makes up my Barcelona Bracelet pattern. I added some brass chain and another set of two-toned Swarovski crystals to give the earrings some swing.
Then I made these earrings that I am obsessed with. I might keep these for myself, haha.
They’re these really cool pastel cream Swarovski rivoli crystals. I used the tan/brown Picasso 15/0’s and some mottled blue fire-polished crystal and tiny little Swarovski crystals. The pattern is called Rivoli Dangles by Gail Damm and it is my FAVORITE way to bezel a rivoli.
Lastly, I worked up a surprisingly spring-colored SuperDuo Rosette bracelet.
Weird colors for me, right? But I really liked that cream/turquoise/coral mix and the seafoam Picasso 15/0’s worked well as a border. It was an adventure!
That’s all I’ve had time to work on recently, but I finally got some photos taken in preparation for my big Black Friday sale coming up soon! So, keep an eye on my Etsy and Facebook for new listings and sale information.
In the meantime, you all enjoy your fall! Has anyone else done any beading with the Picasso 15/0’s yet?
