if all else fails i can make the fringe on this one extra long now that i have two bead trays on the go it s a lot easier to just set something aside for later rather than go to all the trouble of packing things up and then hauling them out again when i decide to finish a piece right now i m grateful for the option of course i haven t been keeping up with my commitment to put away beads and materials when i m finished with a project although i have been able to keep packages of beads contained to one area of my workspace so that i m not drowning in them it will be time for a big clean up very soon or i ll start to have trouble finding what i need perhaps i ll get around to it when the paper mache stage of my holiday projects comes around otherwise i might just stuff everything into a space in the closet until january my number one bead tray is looking pretty tidy at the moment i just put the finishing touches on a new collar with a double mythology inspiration which i will unveil very soon in the meantime i m doing some research on all new icons for inspiration in the new year what are you making right now mortira subscribe facebook google send your beading questions to

comments topics bead trays spiral rope wip friday december 2 2016 the lady of the house ask anyone who their favorite egyptian goddess is and most people would probably say isis or hathor these dieties known for motherhood healing love and protection long outlasted their original culture and continue to be an important part of spirituality and feminity to this day this is an impressive achievement when you consider that they were competing with hundreds of other gods and goddesses throughout 4000 years of ancient egyptian culture many religions cults and legends were incorporated into the pantheon and worshipped in the home alongside the same dieties that we can still see depicted on the walls of ancient tombs the names and identities of many egyptian goddesses have been lost to time but the daughters of ra and the children of nut and geb continue to thrive in their own way my favorite goddess is nephthys sister of isis and wife of set her name means lady of the mansion and she was the ancient egyptian goddess of death not to be confused with anubis the god of embalming or other death gods with morbid and shadowy backstories nephthys was as much a goddess of healing and protection as her sister in ancient egypt life death and rebirth were all linked nephthys represented the realm were all things living and dead are one this concept can be very comforting especially when one feels disconnected from their peers or the world around them we are all made from the same atoms and nephthys embodies that notion perfectly the inspiration the realm of nephthys was the place where the fertile waters and silt of the nile met the harsh and inhospitable desert a margin between abundant life and bleak death she was the place were bodies become soil and soil nourishes bodies in a neverending circle when i picture nephthys i always think of a goddess that is poised and regal while also having a smoldering vitality she is the combination of solemn death and the never ending resilience of life she is birth death regeneration and evolution all rolled into one in making a new tribute piece to nephthys i wanted to incorprate the earthy colors of biomass such as greens browns and black this time i also wanted some rich blue to represent the water that connects all living things for this project i started by combing through my stash to find pieces that had the right look to represent the lady of death and tried to picture them together until a design took shape i also wanted to be sure that the piece would turn out right on the first try so i decided to go with my favorite fringe this would allow me to pull lots of different accents together and add some stripe patterns to keep things looking egyptian the beads for the base beadwork i chose transparent dark topaz and montana blue sapphire seed beads in size 8 o these were my earth and water elements and they contrast each other with perfect sophistication i also included some black and white seed beads for borders and stripes though i hadn t yet decided what type of pattern i wanted to use for accents i had so many wonderful choices but in the end i went with bone tubes crackle finish wood amber horn heishi beads and sono wood tubes these beads all had the color texture and light that i wanted in this piece i was particlarly exited to use the green wood beads from blueberry cove which so perfectly represented nephthys home on the nile i was in the mood for even more texture so i later added batik bone beads in black jet black druks and some tiny natural coconut rounds to the mix the beadwork few things are easier than creating something from your favorite inspiration and this project certainly fits that description the pattern and the fringe just came together and the work seemed to go by in a flash for the rope i used black to border the brown sections and white to border the slightly darker blue portions to break up the rope a little i added smaller blocks of brown between each of the striped sections this is a little bit different from any of the patterns that i ve used before and not exactly traditional but i love how it turned out i repeated the pattern somewhat for the fringe connecting it at the edge with brown then finishing with a cascade of more montanta blue sapphire i really love working with this color in any type of bead and it never disappoints do you have a favorite figure from mythology how do they inspire your work mortira subscribe facebook google send your beading questions to inspirationalbeading gmail com support

gods feminine fringe herringbone necklace wednesday november 30 2016 tutorial golden tapestry netted cuff bracelet netting is one of my favorite beading techniques because it is simple medidative and creates such beautiful collars the method of connecting beads together in nets has been around for thousands of years and was even used by the ancient egyptians chances are you ve seen photographs of the beautiful faience bead gown netting in some form can be found in the beadwork of many cultures sometimes with elaborate patterns and lovely layers though it does have some basic structural limitations the spacing of the beads allows for many variations in netting including the addition of accents in many sizes this super easy tapestry cuff project was inspired by the geometric bead box from blueberry cove beads this has been my all time favorite bead collection so far this year when i pulled out all of the lovely beads in the inspiration box i was struck by how wonderful each of the individual pieces was the shapes and colors are each unique and beautiful in their own way but when combined they create a gorgeous tapestry the harmony of combining beads together is one of the things that makes it such a rewarding art form and this project is a great example of the way that you can easily mix together elements that might not seem matched at first sight blueberry cove geometric bead box some of my favorite pieces from this set include the pretty purple mother of pearl coins and the orange cat s eye cubes individually the beads are wonderul and though they are different in every way i knew that i could mix them together to make a gorgeous piece of jewelry i added tiny gold hexagon beads to the palette from the geometric box and some green glass rounds and drops from the rainforest bead box as well transparent topaz seed beads and purple crystals from my stash rounded out the palette perfectly if you don t have similar materials in your stash try combining some of your favorite accents together the pattern will work with just about anything 6mm and smaller just be sure to leave room for the size and shape of each bead that you add the coins in the project are used as a focal since they can overlap each other nicely along a single row but the other beads sit snugly side by side once the netting is complete the beadwork will have a wonderfully chunky texture if you like your bracelets extra slinky use waxed beading thread in place of the fireline materials 10 yards 6lb test fireline crystal 5 grams size 11 o seed beads

previous row continue adding crystals for the entire row passing through each of the accents beads finish by stitching into the 3rd bead of the peyote panel and turning the thread as usual 9 add 4 seed beads passing through the last crystal added pick up 4 seed beads 1 round bead and 4 seed beads pass through the next crystal in the previous row 10 continue adding accent beads using the opposite color shape as the previous row and a coin in the center finish the row and turn in the following row add all hexagon beads repeat the pattern until you have 5 rows with accents 3 rows of hexagons and 2 rows of crystals as shown turn and exit from the last bead of the peyote panel to begin the final row 11 add 4 seed beads and pass through the last hexagon bead added in the previous row add 4 seed beads 1 cube and 4 seed beads in the next stitch add seeds beads and a glass drop continue adding the remaining accent beads and finish the row with 4 seed beads weave in your threads

pull snug check the fit of the loop on one of your remaining glass rounds it should be just big enough to slip over the bead smoothly adjust the number of beads in the loop if necessary then continue weaving 13 weave through the peyote panel and exit from the edge leaving a 2 bead space from the previous loop add a second loop with the same number of beads repeat to add two more loops then weave in and trim the thread 14 on the opposite edge of the cuff position a new thread 4 beads from the end as before pick up 3 seed beads 1 round and 2 seed beads skipping the last seed bead added pass back through all of the beads again and into the 5th bead of the peyote panel pull snug repeat this step to add 3 more toggles leaving a 2 bead space between each weave in any remaining thread and trim this pattern will create a bracelet that is 6 5 inches 16 5 cm long to increase the length of your design you can add additional seed beads to the nets working with 5 seed beads per stitch

november 16 2016 work in progress progress in work i am happy to say that i have found some new inspiration that will keep me going for a good long while at the very least i am excited to start making things again and to share the ideas behind each project as i go my very first project will return to a favorite place i m making a new necklace inspired by my favorite egyptian goddess nephthys as someone who has long been fascinated by the science of death i found an instant connection with nephthys when i first read about her she embodies the realm where life death and rebirth meet in the ancient egyptian understanding of the universe at times she was also considered to be the mother of anubis and helped in the creation of the first mummy i didn t want to risk making a copy of my last nephthys design so i decided to shy away from greens for this necklace instead i added montana blue sapphire to my palette for a chunky herringbone rope when it comes time to add some fringe i may regret going with a twisted rope but we ll see how things turn out i m finding a lot of comfort in making a tribute to the lady of the house and even if it doesn t quite work out perfectly it ll be worth it the peacock dagger collar turned out quite nicely i was so excited to get started on nephthys that i had to force myself to complete and add the button for this piece luckily it only took one beading session and i thought it was important to finish at least one project before starting this new adventure what inspirations are empowering you at the moment mortira subscribe facebook google
