Beading again!

I'm every excited to be beading again.  This weekend I made these three flowers.  I don't have a project in mind but ideas are starting to flow.  Excited!

Strawberry Mocs!

I needed to make a pair of moccasins for a young girl for the Oneida Nation Pow Wow. I finish them in 6 days! Pretty proud of myself. I finished them just in time for the Pow Wow.

Cutting out the pattern for the mocs. I create the mocs that are called the pinch toe moccasin.

I sew up the backs first and then sew the toes.

All sewn up. Just need to do the beadwork on the vamps.

 One finished! I really like my strawberry design! Hoping the little girl will like them too!

All Finished! Love how they turned out. Project hours logged 22.5 hours! Sweet!

Beading Again! Strawberry Blossoms Yoke

I got an order from a friend for a yoke for her 10 year old daughter. I haven't done one before so I think it turned out really awesome. I had to make my own pattern and it fit her perfect which is awesome. That was my biggest worry.

Her mom and herself came to my house and let me know what she wanted on it she brought a print out of strawberry flowers from a search engine. So I made own pattern for her flower and I'm really proud of that because that means no one else with have the same flower design as her.

 The way I did the flowers was to put the on fabric and then sew them onto the black velvet.

 Here is a close up of the flowers that I designed for her. She thought they were very pretty!

 I stitched them on to the black velvet and than beaded the vines/stems and then beaded the leaves.

 Sewing/beading on the ribbon. Some people sew the ribbon on and than add the beads, but I bead the ribbon right on. It saves time and thread.

 Finished project. Couldn't be happier with it. Kind of with I could keep it, but at least I took a lot of photos. Although photos never do raised beadwork justice. Total Project Hours: 18 hours logged
