One of my favorite activities which calm me when I'm stressed
out or tiered is to look online for bead based jewelry. A few months ago I
found two sites that gave specific instructions how to make components that I
found interesting. I read the instructions again and again but I did not get to
actually check them out. But on the last working day of the week I decided to leave
all my current projects and test my ability to follow these instructions.
The first tutorial I have tried was "How to make jewelry
clusters" posted by BRANDIGIRLBLOG.COM. I was interested in this method
because my cluster jewelry is based on attaching beads to a chain while this
method is based on piling looped beads on a head peen. I made a pair of
earrings which came out really nice. I will most probably use this technique
again.
The second tutorial I have tried was "Bead cluster" by
Cut Out and Keep. Very quick and the result is quite sassy. I used relatively
large beads so the bead cluster or bead ball can be worn as a pendant on its
own.
