Elaborando unos Delicados Zarcillos de Flor de Loto

Greetings Jewelry friends, I hope you are very well, today I come to show you some nice earrings, where I used two techniques, a simple embroidery and weaving with miyuki beads.

Let's go to the elaboration of the earrings.

Delicate Lotus Flower.

It is interesting, the meaning of the lotus flower, which symbolizes the purity of body and soul, besides its ability to emerge in difficult environments such as the swamp, is associated with the processes that I lived the human being, and well no one escapes from living moments where the storm covers us, but always comes the calm, just as the lotus flower blooms in the midst of so much environmental hostility.
It was not a coincidence for me to make it in these moments where I live emotional processes...

Let's see how I did it:

1- When I am going to make a weaving with beads, I make the pattern first with the application, Beadtool4, and here I show you how it turned out, I wanted to use delicate colors, and those I had on hand.

2- The technique I used to make them is the peyote, a few posts ago I had told you that the one I knew the most was the brickstitch, but I have been encouraged to practice it more, I have not yet mastered it completely, for me it is essential to have the pattern and scratch to know which one I'm placing, because I can easily get lost.

But I can say that it is a much simpler technique in terms of execution, but I need more practice 😅 I accept it.

Elaborating the lotus flower.

1- I cast on my big eye needle, 17 delicas, as I show in the picture, the following, is to place another delica on our needle, in this case golden color, we let pass the golden delica, and we pass the needle through the purple delica, when adjusting there is a small t as I call it.

2- I continue placing a new delica on the needle, I let pass a delica and pass the needle through the next delica, we repeat the step and it will be like this:

3- We repeat the previous step, until completing the row, and we continue with the weaving, I place another delica I let pass a delica and pass the needle through the next delica, basically what we will do is fill spaces, that's why I say, “I let pass a delica and pass through the next one”, because what we are doing is filling spaces. we repeat until finishing that row, and we give continuity to the next one.

4- In this technique like the brick, we make increases and decreases, we need to continue with the weaving for it we must go out, by that delica as I show, then what we do is to go back through the previous delica, go down and then go back up between the delicas by the same delica, where we went back initially and then pass the needle through the delica where we must position ourselves to continue the weaving.

5- We continue weaving and this is the lotus flower, repeat all the above and make the other flower for the other tendril.

Let's go with the embroidery

I wanted to make a nice detail for the pin of the tendril, so I used a flat drop-shaped stone, at first I had chosen a fuchsia color but then I changed it for a delicate pink, hence the name of the tendrils.

1- Use a fabric called pelon (here it is called pelon) and with the silicone glue, glue the drop on the fabric, wait for it to dry a little, and around it I glued a strip of strass strung, remove the excess once dry, trim the fabric.

2- The next step was, glue the tendril pin and a hoop to assemble the pieces then, place pelon on top and when it was dry, glue a little piece of leather to finish the piece, when it was dry, trim the excess and pass around the piece, the tinder to seal. And that's how it looked:

We assembled the pieces:

With a hoop, that I had placed on the flower, I attached it to the pin hoop and so was the assembled tendril, it's beautiful, I liked the final result. loved it 🌷 💕.

I love how it looks, they are beautiful tendrils: Delicate Lotus Flower.

I hope you liked it, Thank you all for your support 💕.
