Well, I admit I fell in love with soutache bead embroidery lately. They're lovely and very easy to make than I first though. My first try is Lady Mary's pendant. I bought the pattern/tutorial from Jodi Horgan. The tutorial is perfect, full instruction and lot of pictures, and even me, who never do embroidery before, still can do it quite easily. Jodi is very responsive and answer my questions too. So if you're looking for any soutache tutorial online or kit, I highly recommend her shop.
This is Lady Mary's pendant.
After I succeeded making it, I went ahead and made my own pendant and this is what I made.
Around the Opalite. It was a real run doing it.
Now, I'm looking for more cabs. Hope to find good cabs here so that I don't need to buy from other countries. lol
