I made another one of those, because I made way too many of these round pieces in airdry clay 😅 #airdryclay #pendant #beading #beadembroidery

And getting closer and closer to the end. I glued the backing on and I just have the border and clasp to add. #beading #beadembroidery #bracelet #cuff #airdryclay #uvresin #painting

Finally some times to progress with this. Sure, if I hadn't stopped for a month or so to crochet a giant blanket, 'd probably more ahead 😅 #beading #beadembroidery #bracelet #cuff #airdryclay #uvresin #painting

And now I'm doing this. This time it's a true bead embroidered cuff bracelet. I figure that's a third option to use the little painting. I did something more convoluted at first but I didn't like it, so stripes it is. 😆 #beading #beadembroidery #bracelet #cuff #airdryclay #uvresin #painting

The links feel a bit flimsy to me, but it does look nice xD I could/should probably tighten the links together. 🧐 But that was a cool second experiment. #beading #beadedbracelet #airdryclay #uvresin #bracelet #painting

I wanted to try a slightly different approach with less beading, so I made a new batch of paintings (the acrylic paint cracked on the white gouache background, with a really great effect). I stuck bugle beads to the sides this time. #beading #beadedbracelet #airdryclay #uvresin #bracelet #painting

I wore it the other day, the links are pretty solid. The beading isn't perfect but the experiment is successful. 😙 #beading #beadedbracelet #airdryclay #uvresin

On to make some stuff :D Sticking beads to the side of the little rectangles to use them as elements for a beaded bracelet ! #beading #beadedbracelet #airdryclay #uvresin

alamenthe @alamenthe.bsky.social · 24/11/2025
And then, I realised I could make little airdry clay rectangles and paint on them and cover them in UV resin to make little rectangular cabochons… It never ends. So now i'm doing this. (and making stuff with those) #airdryclay #uvresin #painting #acrylic #cabochons #minipainting

Project Skull completely fell by the wayside while I made a bunch of stuff involving air-drying clay, instead 😅 A beaded pendant and necklace inspired from kits I see on etsy, where I made the medallion and cabochons myself (… with molds I bought, tho). #airdryclay #necklace #pendant #beading

Beadling in progress 😀 That time I tried to make a fimo cabochon look like wood… Not sure it's a success but it works for me :b #beading #beadembroidery #fimo #pendant #brooch #beadingart #beads Loads of beads.

alamenthe @alamenthe.bsky.social · 11/08/2025
What can you do when you have fimo head cabochons you made but do not like (a very common problem to have, I know) ? You take out your exacto knife and carve some cats (? allegedly ?) and fox heads in them I guess 🤷‍♀️ #fimocarving #fimo #cat #fox

Little air-dry clay catheads as cabochons, minimal beading, because I made plenty of those and never thought about what to do with them. So cabochon it is 😅 #cat #cabochon #airdryclay #beading

When I started doing this kind of cabochon beading, I used Lacy's Stiff Stuff as foundation, but now I just use felt. When I was looking online, I actually got the one I'm using now because the comments on that felt were negative ("too stiff !"😠) and I went "yeah, that's exactly what I need, lol"

Process of making a slightly creepy autumnal pendant and/or brooch 😙 
#beading #beadembroidery #pendant #brooch #spooky
mosaic of pictures depicting in 6 images the process of making the pendant/brooch. The eye cabochon is glued to a felt backing and surrounded by bead embroidery rings in yellow irregular seedbeads. More seedbeads are used to make the edging after a yellow backing has been applied to the back. Then the yellow seedbeads are decorated with translucent glass leaf beads, small drop and flower beads and brow seed beads in a irregular pattern to simulate shrubbery. two short ropes of seedbeads are applied to the back to allow the pendant to be hung on a chain. a brooch also may be glued and sewn to the back so it can be used as a brooch.

Making some goth pendants/brooches (6) 💀😘 
#beading #beadembroidery #fimo #pendant #brooch #goth #spooky
The four pendant/brooches clustered together at different angles to showcase them. The face and the skulls are made of fimo painted in shades of blue with golden and silver accents. they are surrounded by seed beads embroidery in various patterns in the same colors, with added glass and lucite flowers in dark blue shade. The patterns and the flowers are different on each.
