VITAMINCODE : JELLYBEAN FEVER wood bead multi-stranded bracelet
by VitaminJ
Updated 3 Jun 09: Adopted by Victoria from Orlando, US.^^
Relive your childhood with this darling. Just don’t eat the beads.^^
This is a real funky bracelet with 7 strands of small barrel LEAD-FREE wood beads in assorted colours. Each strand is painstakingly strung with 19 wood beads through a multi-stranded Jade green ‘Mouline Special’ cotton thread. Though these threads (made in France) are expensive , they are brilliantly-coloured & sturdy so I used them for my felt crafts too. Each strand is crimped individually at the 2 ends with silver plated crimp beads. The strands are held together by four thick sturdy bright silver jumprings. The jumprings are connected at two ends to a ‘Twisted 8 & Oval’ iron chain (LEAD & NICKEL-FREE). Finally, a black lobster clasp (LEAD & NICKEL-FREE) is attached to the iron chain with a small black jumpring (LEAD & NICKEL-FREE).
The bead strands measure about 16cm each while the iron chain measures about 9.5cm. The bracelet is designed for easy wearing & perfect fit according to your desire. Just hold on to the lobster clasp, put the bracelet through, & then hook the clasp onto one of the 6 oval links on the chain for your desired fit. Wear it fitting or loose according to your dress codes.
Personally, I like to wear my bracelet loose as it looks more feminine that way & makes my broad wrist appear slimmer by contrast (My little tip for gals with broad wrists like me. I wear my watch that way too.^^)
***My own design & I take pride in it. Be nice & don't copy or claim it as your own. Tks***

i crocheted these shawls out of quilting thread a couple of years ago and then never got around to blocking them or listing them till a customer asked about them recently, so i pulled them out to take pictures. i'd forgotten just how many i made! :lol: i'll be blocking them all this weekend and then listing them on etsy soon. if you are interested in any before that my email addy is in my profile.
Orange, yellow, pink, and black embroidery thread. I expect to use this mostly for detail work on amigurumi and stuffed toys.
For the Wall of Thread, I considered pegboard, and then at the craft store got SCHOOLED by a longtime crafter. "Don't ruin your walls, honey. Try Cardboard," he croaked. So I shopped, and there it was: Foamcore Board. BRILLIANT! Pictured is one length of foam board (20X30inches, 1/4inch thick, bronze, $1.29 a sheet!). It's attached to the wall easy peasy with a quilter's straight pin (they're xtra long) every 6 inches. Pins for holding threads are in 2inch increments -- this section will hold 24 skeins wide (depending on how close set pins are) and 3 down. This is lightweight (and in other thicknesses if you use funky fiber or heavy yarn), comes in many colors, and is totally modular -- perfect! These babies can even go into a portfolio and, voila, when I teach I'm completely mobile! BAM!
I made this using a white silk yarn and some dmc cotton perle thread... it was an easy pattern but a lot of little pieces until it came together :o)

I came up with something I'm calling a "card cheat" for the London garters on pp. 142-144 of Textiles & Clothing: even though the original was probably woven on a rigid heddle loom, I decided to use card weaving to approximate these garters, as I had cards but no loom.
I did this with the understanding that the warp and weft interact rather differently in this kind of weaving, so the finished item wouldn't necessarily look exactly like the original, but I can get the same look.
Here, I show how I threaded my cards to get a similar pattern to the reconstruction shown on p. 144.
