I needed a break from completing my newest tutorials and decided that it was high time to create a bag charm with Doric script 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m really pleased with how it’s turned out! Aye, aye. Fit like? Means Hello, how are you? #violettapretoriusbeadwork #madeinscotland #miyukibeads

I spent last couple of days playing with Herringbone stitch and I might’ve gotten a little carried away, but I really enjoyed making these earrings. #violettapretoriusbeadwork #contemporarybeadwork #Miyukibeads #newwork #madeinScotland

I’ve managed to finish one last project before the end of 2025 and am really happy with the results! And it is all about geometric shapes ☺️ #violettapretoriusbeadwork #contemporarybeadwork #contemporarygeometricbeadwork #geometricbeadwork #Miyukibeads

Here’s my 2025 catch-up. Early on last year I decided to enter a selection of local art exhibitions and it feels like haven’t been as productive this year, but I’m beyond thrilled to have had 3 works accepted into events in Banchory and Edinburgh. Here’s looking to another creative year ☺️

Back in 2019 — which feels like forever ago — I made a couple of modular origami Electra. sculptures. They weren’t my first attempt at origami, but they’re the only two pieces still on display today! The other day, while watching TV, the light hit them just right… and suddenly, inspiration struck.

My year long IBW colour challenge is all done! And I really like how it’s turned out ☺️ I combined Preciosa PermaLux Matte beads together with sparkly Champagne Miyuki beads and the finished bangle floats beautifully around your wrist! #violettapretoriusbeadwork

While getting ready for the upcoming GBBS event in Daventry, I thought that it was high time to make a needle case for myself ☺️ I have a lot of Tulip needles tubes and decided to reuse one of them. And of course it had to be in my favourite colour combo of black, white and red! Hope you like ☺️

These sparkly fringe earrings are completely different from what I typically make but were really fun to make! Made with luminous Miyuki seed beads and Czech Mini Daggers. To see them in person, visit @editaberdeen in @bonaccordaberdeen www.instagram.com/reel/DIDrG--...
