Beaded candle holder

It is hot summer over here. Cannot go out. Since i am staying outer Chennai, power cut.
With the help of generator backup no A.C is being working.
So depending upon Fan. Sitting inside the house.
Not able to go out from this colony. Evening walking is around the colony in the shadow of plants.
Sitting at home made me dull.
Want to do something. Something recycling.
OOOOOOOOphs.........
All my painting materials became hard and flowing easily.
what to do with that.

O.K.
Taken one glass . applied 3D glitter. It is became hard and not folowing easily. So applied it with brash.
Then scattered glass beads on the glitter.
I am not even able to do designs, because the glitter is not hearing me. So just applied that's all.

applied the same glitter at the bottom portion of the glass and scattered beads over it.

Now the recycled glass is ready. What to do with it?

Remember i had seen the glass with candle at Colours decor.

So i too tried it like that.

wow....

when the candle is lit, the result is pretty.

some more photos of the beaded glass candle holder.

TAST week16 Frenchknot

The week 16 of TAST is frenchknot.
And it is here.
Frenchknot is being used as for a little thing like centre of flower, eyes of animal motifs and of course a little flower near fly stitch.
With frenchknot being doing a design is new to me.
I tried it out.

But the result is not satisfied.

O.K. let me try out another design.

O.K. but not full o.k.

So let me try out some more designs.

So how is about this one?

Here comes a very little work of frenchknot.

But for now i am closing this post and will be back by some more trials.

TAST 201`2 week 15 stem stitch.

Here comes my Appu, happily riding on a bicycle for his vacation.
Happy viewing him is int it so?

O.K. The TAST 2012 week 15 is stem stitch .
For doing this stem stitch i brought back Appu. The full design is done with stem stitch.

This is a printed cloth. I just tried out the stem stitch on the print.

This is a simple design. Yes just drawn by me to do the stitch quickly.

I used kamalkadai for the flowers and stem stitch for stems.

do you remember the pony I had done on March stitch along?

It is also by stem stitch only.

Happy Easter

The week 14 of TAST 2012 is satin stitch.
My trial with it is here.

Easter Eggs

Easter is nearing.
Easter egg patterns are available in varieties of materials.
Craft making tutorials are very much available for Easter egg.

But here i embroidered some Easter eggs.
I had taken these designs while browsing Internet and now I am not aware of the particular site from where I got it. But I am sure these patterns are free patterns.
So i had given my embroidery trials with these eggs.

This one i already uploaded. Because i used some stitches from TAST 2012.

Week 13 is the challenge.

Here is the another pattern.

Here comes buttons and beads.I stitched beads around the egg and buttons inside.

This one is mango design.

But i can call it chain stitch design. Since the complete design is stitched by chain stitch.

This is a cross stitch design. I like this design very much and done it. But i don't remember where I got this design. Let ,me find out soon. I thank the creator of this design very much.

So my embroidery eggs are over with this.
