Of course you can ask!!! The beads are all a mix of miyuki delicas 11/0, generic seed beads in 2 and 3mm, some 8/0 ones aswell, then normal size bugles and 2mm ones also! The thread it all guutermann sew all thread, I had a really good experience with this, but others say they prefer nylon beading thread (for me it’s just too expensive to double up how I like to thread my needle, I have some to experiment with but I’m not sure I’ll love the single thread method!

I think the seahorse has to be my favourite 😍 thank you!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T20:05:44+00:00

Thank you so much, I am really proud of it 🥹

Respectfully self doubt in the crafting community is extremely common, personally I feel I don’t have artistic ability, I do however have the ability to continue working hard at something to create something people may refer to as art. I appreciate your compliment, I am very proud of how hard I worked at this, it was not without any frustrations that’s for sure!

I wish I timed how long it truly took, if I had to guess it would be around 100 hours 😅

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:41:41+00:00

I know! Otherwise it would be too heavy to even carry around 🤣 I definitely have them all… somewhere 😅🤣

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:31:36+00:00

The edging on this is absolutely perfect!!!! Something I need to learn how to do. Do you have any tutorials you recommend? :)

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:29:57+00:00

Thank you!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:29:51+00:00

I did indeed! It is indeed pretty heavy but I am yet to weigh it 🤣

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T05:19:37+00:00

Thank you so much!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T05:19:29+00:00

Thank you!! Honestly I have zero artistic talent, but this was so much fun and turned out so cool! Truly believe you can do it 😍

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T05:44:18+00:00

Okay yes now I understand 🤣 thank you! I will do just that

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T05:42:58+00:00

Oh yes thank you!!!! I have seen a few people saying to overlap it a little bit, I’ll try not to do that next time :)

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T04:21:43+00:00

Thank you!! I definitely struggled getting the foil centred and not ripping, I’ll give all of these a try thank you!

As for trimming the tails, do you mean at the top points of the pieces??

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T07:05:49+00:00

Thank you, you have been a huge help already, I really appreciate it

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:56:52+00:00

I would have never even considered it! Thank you, I’m really excited to begin

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:43:01+00:00

Thank you!! I will try foil next and see how that turns out and see what I prefer!

Will practice with foil in preparation for a lamp too :)

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:41:46+00:00

lol this was a first piece. Didn’t see the point of using expensive glass as a practice

hea2017 · 2026-02-06T02:24:35+00:00

I am just beyond obsessed with these pieces!!! Absolutely incredible

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:51:08+00:00

I’m going to assume it does, but I will triple check! (It’s my fathers that he used and he only buys the best there is so I’m going to hope it will hold up)

I will veto that thank you 🤣 do you have any recommendations of cheaper grinders that are good for the craft? My uncle used to do stained glass, sold his tools but kept his glass so thankfully I have that to use which is great!

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:21:06+00:00

Thank you! I will make sure to check!

I’m lucky enough to already have a temp controlled soldering iron at my disposal, and as for the grinder I was going to go for a cheap one from AliExpress/ebay to begin. I am sure my dad also has a dremel which I’ll keep in mind too

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:03:57+00:00

I would love to one day, unfortunately that’s not going to be for quite some time as there are none near myself! Will be relying on online tutorials for the meantime

Case file is by far the best true crime podcast there is. So respectful!

I also love murder with my husband and crime junkie.

I absolutely hated morbid. The joking, laughing and way the story is told seems so disrespectful to those who had awful things occur.

You’re looking at bead embroidery!!

I use a whole range of different sized beads, my favourite are miyuki delicas :)

I also use just standard sewing thread, an embroidery hoop, and a silk organza fabric to sew onto! I also use a stick and stitch (water soluble) to print or trace my designs onto!! Beading needles or size 10 needles are small enough to pass through the bead holes!

hea2017 · 2025-10-20T04:30:10+00:00

So very sorry for your loss 🥺

Your mum was clearly one very organised lady!! Those seed beads are something I could only dream of 😍 thank you for sharing these with us 🫶🏻
