I was asked to make a berlingo decoration for a green and yellow bedroom:)

Here it is. Hopefully I shall manage to make a photo in the customer's interior:)

2010-04-01T07:09:00.000-07:00

I tried myself in a freehand embroidery. This

is a mobile phone bag and a matching kumihimo strap for the phone.

berlingo tutorial

2010-02-26T01:59:00.000-08:00

these are the examples of ornaments you can make using berlingo shapes.

It is better to use thin carton.
Glue together the shaded parts

wrap 1-2 sides and fix the last side with glue

You can use double-sided tape to hold thread on its place though when using cotton thread that is unnesessary.

Fix the thread at the corner (you can use clear nail polish), wrap along the sides. Fix the thread at each corner.

If you wish to use several colors, cut the thread and fix it with clear nail polish; fix the new thred at the same place

Finished bottom/top

This pair will be a present to my sister

I love this necklace. The sennet is made of flat cord, and I used crochet cotton for the flowers. Here I tried for the first time and fall in love with tenerife lace :). Embellished with Swarovski crystals

Welcome!

This blog will be mostly for sharing my ideas with others. I intend to publish photos of my work more or less regularly and promise to answer questions. Among my interests I would name micro-macrame jewerly and temari. There might be something else occasionally. As I am an inexperienced blogger I would be gratefull for your suggestions and comments
