This is my latest design, the "Almeida" pendant. Named after the portuguese historic village of Almeida, this pendant reminds me of its shaped star fortress. Almeida was one of the most important strongholds in Portugal in the modern age. It played a crucial military role, defending the portuguese border in the first years of the country independence. The aerial view of this stronghold reveals 2500 meters of walls forming the shape of a 12 point star. Although the pendant only has 9 points, I thought it was a fine name for this design.  List of materials needed for this project: 14 ..read more

I've been working on these bracelets this week. I have a wooden loom I bought sometime ago in a trinket shop that I had never used before. I had to make some adjustments to it so I could use small beads. It works for now but I intend to buy another one. I used 11/0 Miyuki seed beads in both bracelets. The colours of the first one came out quite nice. However, colours on the second one don't pop-up much. I meant to use some opaque white seed beads but I only had transparent white among my stuff. I believe if you use an opaque light colour it will look really good.  Feel free to adjust c ..read more
