Fuchsia

Winter is in full swing now, so I've got a desire to make a product reminiscent of summer. That is why today we will make fuchsia - an evergreen shrub.
We will need:
- seed beads #11 of burgundy and white colors for flowers;
- seed beads #8 of green color for leaves;
- wire 0.2 mm in diameter for flowers and 0.3 mm in diameter for leaves;
- aluminum or copper wire 1.5-2 mm in diameter for stems;
- green thread for winding the stems.

Earrings hearts in peyote stitch

We continue learning the new methods of beading. Today we turn our attention to the technique of peyote stitch. We've already got an idea of this technique, as you can remember we made the image of the Zodiac sign of Capricorn lately with it. But at that time we used a fishing line with a single needle, this way of peyote stitch is applied when a product contains an even number of beads in width. If the number of beads in the product's width is odd, the weaving should be conducted with the help of two needles. Using this technique, today we will make earrings shaped like hearts. In addition, in the process of beading we will consider some techniques which are used in the weaving of figurate mosaic products.
