COLLIERS / BEADING

 I'm back to play with beads and threads!

For a long long time I missed making necklaces and with all that you can see on the net it's painful to think that I have boxes full of beads, threads and don't use them. Shame on me!

I must say that since I'm retired I'm more relax on my look... outfits, hair, make up and jewels.

But I love all sorts of beads and I have bought some nice one some years ago in a shop in Dieppe and some bags of beads and sequins visiting Lunéville. it's on my todo list for too many years and it's time for action.

First I love long necklaces like "sautoir" or "opéra", I don't know why but I am not longer at ease with something close to my neck!

My first project is to make a small rope "cordelière" with DMC metallic pink 5852 associated with coton perlé n° 5 beige 738.

First I had those two lovely buttons with Paris views I bought in Toulon!

I have selected some tiny flowers, charms, buttons to sew on the rope

in an harmony of colors from white to green.

I want to attach a tassel at the bottom of the rope made with the same DMC threads.

Then I wanted to have a link to embroidery with a tiny hoop with scissors and spool, all made with real gold DMC thread (given it a jewel look).

I don't need a clasp so I'm attaching the two ends and making a blanket stitch with the metallic thread (not the best one I have made but metallic isn't my favourite thread).

Me voici enfin décidée à ressortir mes boîtes de perles pour confectionner quelques jolis colliers et sautoirs. 

Premier projet : une longue cordelière réalisée en coton perlé DMC beige 738 associé à un fil métallique 5852.

Sur cette cordelière je voulais attacher quelques miniatures : deux boutons avec de jolie vues de Paris en couple avec des boutons décorés, des fleurs, une perle larme, un bouton bois parfum, un tout petit flacon rempli de micro billes. Puis j'ai fabriqué une broderie au fil d'or DMC dans un tambour de 23 mm groupée avec son charm ciseaux oiseaux et sa bobine d'1 cm.

En finition, confection d'un gland qui pendra sous un bouton "Paris - couture", le tout avec une harmonie de couleur du blanc au vert.
