A Time To Stitch 5 / Le temps de tisser

Therese de Therese's Treasures et Christine de One kiss creations Beaded Jewelry organise des défis plus tournés vers le tissage. Je me suis inscrite à cette 5ème édition et il s'agissait de faire trois bracelets en utilisant le même point mais en variant soit les couleurs, la taille des perles, leur formes...
J'ai choisi un point spirale, la spirale russe, et j'ai fait trois cordons et j'ai oublié qu'il s'agissait de bracelets, je les ai transformés en colliers...
Je m'en suis aperçue en vérifiant une dernière fois la date, j'étais d'ailleurs soulagée d'avoir une semaine d'avance.
Et puis voilà, il fallait des bracelets.
J'ai donc repris une spirale, plus simple trois fermoirs identiques et j'ai gardé en tête qu'il me fallait des bracelets.
Le premier est donc fait avec des rocailles 8° pour le coeur et 11° pour la spirale avec des feuilles.

Therese from Therese's Treasures and Christine from One Kiss Creations Beaded Jewelry organise stitching challenges and I decided to try and take part in this fifth edition.  We had to make three bracelets using the same stitch but with variations in color, finish, bead size or shape...
I chose the Russian Spiral stitch, so I made three ropes and forgot I had to make bracelets. I turned them into a necklace.
I was relieved to be finished one week early, until I found out about the bracelets when I checked a last time for dates...
So I chose a simpler spiral stitch, three identical toggle clasps and kept thinking, bracelets.
The first one is made with 8°seed beads for the core and 11° and  leaves for the spiral.





Le deuxième à un coeur de rocailles 8° et la spirale est composée de rocailles 15°, 11° et de toupies Swarovski de 4 mm.

The second one has a 8° core and the spiral is made with 15°, 11° and 4mm Swarovski bicones.


Le troisième à un coeur de rocailles 6° et la spirale est composée de rocailles 11° et de perles rondes de 8 mm.

The third one is made with 6° for the core and the spiral with 11° and 8mm rounds.



Voici maintenant les trois ensemble et demain je vous montrerai mes trois premières spirales.

Here are the three together and tomorrow I'll show you my first three ropes.

  5. n'inquiet pas, on ne doit pas faire les bracelets, on peut faire n'import quel genre de bijouterie pour ce challenge! J'aime bien ces pieces, j'ai utilisé les petites perles, mais je les aime bien avec des plus grand perles que tu as utilisé. Trés bien fait!

  8. Fantastic mix of bracelets! I really love the one with leaves - what a beautiful piece! I never thought to add the disproportionately larger accent bead in a Russian spiral - I have to try that! it looks awesome

  9. Russian spiral is one of my favorite stitches and I love your variations. From lush to elegant to opulent, each is stunning. My favorite is the red bracelet with the 8mm rounds - it would be perfect, no matter the season.

  12. Oh No! I took the bracelets as a suggestion but you didn't have to go back and start from the beginning, but after seeing these gorgeous bracelets, I am so glad you did! They all are gorgeous and do not look like the same stitch. You changed up the beads perfectly to show the challenge. If I saw these in a shop, I would want all 3! You do real nice work :-D
