Everytime I need to be beading, she desperately needs to be stomping.. so there's an alibi for any delays in writing/making, is there? 😸 #klyopathecat #catsofinstagram #lifewithcats #nothelping #beading #beads #beadedbun

Blue or Red pill, Neo. Which one is yours? 😁 (learn what's the magic in Stories) #beadedpendant #beads #seedbeads #twosided #swarovskiimitation #beadedbun #handmade #diy #beading #beadwork #needlework #beadweaving #etsy #бисер #perles #mandala #beadedmandala #tohobeads #buglebeads #blue #red

My beading life history is funny. I once thought I would never cover a rivoli's back because 'it's asymmetrical and generally not nice.' Then I thought I would never use crystals with metal settings, since metal 'looks like a rogue element among the beads'.. And here they are, set shatons I would now love (and know how) to use for weaving. How did I even come this way? My next stop point is probably crystals with holes or cannetille/payettes. 😆 P. S. This is the black double-sided crystal I was taking about before. Guess what's incoming. #miyukidelica #beads #rivoli #swarovskiimitation #preciosa #beadedbun #handmade #beading #mandala #beadmandala #beadedbezel #geometricbeadwork #wip #workinprogress #sneakpeek

Turned out to be a saltire. Okay beads, let's see what you foist on me next. 😆 ..though round buns still seem to be best. P. S. Happy weekend everyone! #crystals #beading #beads #beadweaving #trilliant #swarovskiimitation #rivoli #miyukidelica #swarovskipearls #beadedbun #saltire

8mm triangles are pretty much of a success, I guess. 😀 Let's see now they behave later on. Which is your smallest size and strangest shape you tried to bezel, btw? I saw at least two ladies bezelling 8mm shatons recently, and that was cool. Pictures don't show the scale sometimes, but I do know they're tinyyy (and also round and slippy like soap 😁)! #crystals #beading #beadweaving #trilliant #swarovskiimitation #rivoli #miyukidelica #swarovskipearls

So tiny! Quite a challenge! #crystals #beading #beadweaving #trilliant #swarovskiimitation

Starburst Beaded Bun tutorial is now ready for the taking, kindly follow the link in bio (there's a menu for both tutorials now, probably I'll be able to add more in the future 🙃). Please remember I'm not a pro in writings of that kind (and pattern drawings as well) and let me know if you are going to give it a try. If you find a mistake, or have troubles understanding what's written/depicted at all, or have a piece of advice on how to make the whole thing better, kindly share your thoughts as well. And if you succeed, please tag me so I can see your work. And now's the question, would anyone like a simpler tutorial? Like, just large beads and a few rows of weaving (see example in Stories). 🧡 #beadingpattern #beadingtutorial #inkscape #freeware #opensource #freebeadingtutorial #diy #beadedbun #tutorialbyrussianfables #rivolitutorial #мкбисер #beading #beadedbun #jewelrymaking #mandala #beadmandala

Almost ready, last tweaks here and there. Chose the 'Starburst' name, tyvm @neveroclock. P.S. Yep, it's old MS Word Cyrillic. 😁 #beadingpattern #beadingtutorial #inkscape #freebeadingtutorial #diy #beadedbun #tutorialbyrussianfables #rivolitutorial #мкбисер #beading #beadedbun #jewelrymaking #mandala #beadmandala

I FINALLY have an imaginary truck of cookies bowled over in my street, and I can now dive into crystals just like Scrooge McDuck into his pile of gold coins (it's only 1/3 of what I'm waiting for, though). The black ones are by lucky chance reversable (no silver coat on the back), two-sided buns incoming! #treasure #stash #myinnerhamster #crystals #beading #beadweaving #rivoli #swarovskiimitation

I'm writing a new tutorial for this pattern and need your ideas for the name, please. Short and easy to remember, smth bugle-related maybe or?.. The front piece was being photographed in process, so the colours are.. not the most attractive but supposed to be distinguishable to look clear in the pics and also chosen from what's at hand again. #beadingtutorial #freebeadingtutorial #diy #beadedbun #tutorialbyrussianfables #rivolitutorial #мкбисер #beading #beadedbun #jewelrymaking #mandala #beadmandala #buglebeads

Bezelling a crystal with Toho cubes instead of Delicas suddenly felt like being 15 years back in time and looking at a low resolution CRT screen where everything is much larger than usual. The crystal itself is huge, and I also desperately needed that matte orange colour so had no choice, though. #beadedpendant #beads #seedbeads #tohocubes #swarovskiimitation #beadedbun #handmade #diy #beading #beadwork #needlework #beadweaving #etsy #бисер #perles #mandala #beadedmandala #tohobeads #orange

Bugle story goes on. And here are all the whites which didn't fit into the previous one, like simple white, pearly white, silvery white.. all of them! #miyukidelica #miyuki #beadedpendant #beadedbrooch #beads #seedbeads #rivoli #swarovskiimitation #beadedbun #handmade #diy #beading #beadwork #needlework #beadweaving #etsy #бисер #perles #mandala #beadedmandala #buglebeads
