soutache for sadie

I love buying clothes for my goddaughter Sadie

and if I get a chance to add my own touch , it's a lot of fun

a little soutache cord from dazzle-it , some beads and wooden buttons,

 even a hair clip transformed in no time into this cute outfit

and the smile on Sadie's face , priceless!!!

 

abalone and soutache necklace

 

ever since my friend carmi introduced me to soutache cord by dazzle-it

I'm totally addicted!!

while searching through my stash I came across some

abalone shells I purchased a few years ago

they worked perfectly with the taupe and beige cord

a few pearls and beads and I was on my way to creating these 2 necklaces

 

 

 

country time

inspired by summer

finally, a soutache project that didn't take 15 hours!!

featuring fire and ice agate beads

 ever since my friend carmi introduced me to

the fire and ice agate bead line from dazzle it

I've been incorporating them in my wire work

above a simple shape featuring round and flat beads

one stone is a great feature in this butterfly shape

and below my fish looks great with this kumihimo  braid my by carmi



body in motion

I really love the simplicity of this sculpture

this basic dance pose was created with wire, foil, masking tape and gauze

covered in a layer of green powertex and highlighted by using stone art

the texture shows really shows off the form

the wood base was covered with cheesecloth and green powertex

and dry brushed with white powertex

the texture is amazing
