Playing around with different bead layouts on my sine wave gown. This is a T back strap.

I really like the center sunburst, but I think it adds too much visual noise.

A T shape in beads on velvet. The center of the T has a sunburst designThe same t-shape, only with the center of the T using the same repeating motif as the rest of the design.  Beads that look like rain.

Progress on the beadwork on my 1930's evening gown. I still have the infill work but the design foundation is laid.

Think I'm going to call this my sine wave gown for shits and giggles.

This bit of bead work is the back strap of the gown, more or less. It will be surrounded by a deep cowl back in the same red velvet.

At this pace, if we keep going to this event every year, I am going to have an entire wardrobe of Art Deco era evening gowns.

Another old necklace, made in 2019.

Initially, I was going to make an airy crochet, but after stringing thought better of it. Don't these transparent green beads look good enough as is?

I’m so excited to be showing y’all what I’ve been working on!

My goal for this month is to sell $6000 worth of beadwork. I didn’t make a lot last month so I had to borrow for rent. I need to cover this month and last’s rent, bills, cat supplies, and beadwork supplies — all super important.

Please go check out the eleven new items in my shop and indulge in some beadwork! More new pieces coming soon → cvkvlv.com

Goal for January/February: $1675/$6000

Mvto! (Thank you!)

#Beadwork

Ten new beadwork pieces on a dark blue background. The pieces range in color, with lots of turquoise, blue, and purple featured, as well as a bit of pink, red, and black.

Currently listening to music and working on a new way to finish my beaded crochet wristlet lanyards 🧐🧵.

What are y'all doing on this chilly Sunday 👀??

It's a fact, Native/Indigenous culture isn't as uptight about swearing and sex as the dominant culture. Still, I was proud @Tzipporah only said fuck one time in this great video.

Remember my post from the other day about how bead-crochet is a craft where you definitely need to trust the process? Here's the same piece that was pictured in said post; exactly ten rows in and coming together 😁! It will look even better by row twenty, and will eventually become an awesome wristlet lanyard for someone 🥰🙌!

#pink #trusttheprocess #beadwork #beading #crochet #beadcrochet #beadedaccessories #wristlet #lanyard
Ten rows of bead crochet in four shades of pink. The diamond ombre pattern is beginning to appear with the increased number of rows.

If the phrase "trust the process" had a physical embodiment, it would 100% be bead-crochet lol.

Look at this sad, gappy little circle of beads (and this is one of my better starts, mind you) 😜. It's hard to imagine that by row number 10 or so, the space between beads will start to tighten up, and the pattern will become visible 🤯. And eventually, I'll have an entire beautiful bracelet or lanyard to smile about! I rest my case, your honor *dramatically bows*.

I don't know who had the patience to figure this out back in the day, but I'm incredibly grateful they did! Bead-crochet projects are one of my favorite things to work on 🤗. I just don't enjoy stringing pattern repetitions and will complain about that till the cows come home 😝. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol.

The first three rows of a bead-crochet rope being held in place with a round blue stitch marker. In the background; there is a thread filled with beads for the pre-strung pattern as well as the spool of silver upholstery thread that everything is attached to. All of the beads are shades of pink.

Tambour beadwork is coming along. This is several hours of work, and am getting faster.

The small square beads are slow because each one gets their own stitch.

This a t-shape strap down the center back of the 1930's gown am making. Probably made it a bit wide.

Wish the velvet photographed better, the camera makes it brighter and less plush.

#BeadWork #embroidery #ArtDeco #velvet

Red velvet stretched out on a square embroidery frame. A T shape is outlined in black bugle beads. The top edge sports a second row of tiny square beads. The second row on the bottom of the T is just being started. A thread with beads strung hangs from the half finished row, tied off to a pin.A closeup of the beadwork. The stitches are now visible.

Who all is jumping on the UpScrolled train 👀? I decided to join today and am liking the setup so far 😃! Plus, I'm not really seeing much as far as app bugs so that's a definite bonus lol.

If you've also joined and are interested in seeing beadwork, fluid art, or crochet; consider giving me a follow 😉😁! (Link in the comments!)

A photo collage with info promoting the UpScrolled app. It has the usual suspects: generic "join me" message, "available in both app stores", my @desertlilyartistry handle, and a QR code.

Another old bracelet, made from a pre-mixed set of Preciosa large beads.

Memory wire is arguably the easiest way to make bracelets: just string all the beads onto the wire and bend its ends.
