Not this one. it's built in Pierre de Volvic (a type of lava stone). Clermont is the capital of Auvergne, in the volcanic center of France. 😙

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

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

it's really more difficult to amend stuff on a physical object than on a drawing 😔

alamenthe @alamenthe.bsky.social · 23/08/2025
plus the fact that adding removing stuff from a finished beadling is always a bit of a pain since you have to fasten everything to other beads, because you can't go through the backing anymore. It's not terrible, but it's added difficulty.

alamenthe @alamenthe.bsky.social · 23/08/2025
the symmetry disturbs me somehow, to the point I've actually been thinking about removing them (which is a tall order when you add stuff on the go, because removing them after that might cause all the adjacent beads to become loose.)

… I feel like putting a lone flower in there is a faux-pas for me. because why add flowers if there isn't gonna be a lot of them. but then I also don't feel ok about another brooch I made earlier where I put two big flowers on each side and

Tfw you've found a beading thing you want to try and you can't wait to finish the beading project you were on to start another. Finish your stuff first smh xD

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
