Floral boxes – kits, boxes and seconds – an update

Floral boxes – kits, boxes and seconds – an update

The response to my Floral Boxes has been absolutely amazing, and I’m so grateful. Keeping up with your demand is basically impossible and I’m conscious that many of you keep missing out on being able to choose your favourite colourway or size, and are perhaps ending up with whatever you can get your hands on […]

More Floral Boxes

More Floral Boxes

I was very humbled by the response to my Floral Boxes and Kits a few weeks back – after months of work designing, making and preparing they sold out within hours. I know that some of you were disappointed to miss out, so I’m happy to say that I’ll be releasing another, bigger drop later […]

Floral Boxes and Kits

Floral Boxes and Kits

Our family Christmas present to ourselves this year was a 3D printer, and whilst the original intention was that it would mainly be used by the boys, I got quite into it quite quickly and for once actually learnt to use it properly. Working in IT I tend to avoid learning about technology outside work, […]

Even more fungi

Even more fungi

Last time I posted I mentioned that I was making some Sulphur Tuft mushrooms, and that I was putting bends into the stalks so they could be mounted vertically, as if they were growing from the surface of some cut, rotting wood. Well here they are, complete with a mossy/woody background. The fungi themselves use […]

Beadwork Embroidery Inspiration Uncategorized
Quick bit of packing this morning before I switch the office desk back to the day job.  That mainly means swaping the pretties for a laptop and pots of tea, as brightly coloured boxes, beads and tissue paper aren't really helpful in corporate IT. And they’re live - 7 colours of floral box kits back in stock in my Etsy shop (link in bio/comments). No Viola or Dahlia as I couldn’t get the filament but I now have both and  I’m working on those ready for a small drop in a week’s time.  There are a few boxes without beads/instructions etc as well if you’d like to develop your own beadwork instead, and a few seconds bundles.  Happy Beading!  #beadwork #beading #sarahcryerbeadwork #beads #beadembroidery I have made some more Floral Box Kits, which will be available in my Etsy shop tomorrow (Sunday Nov 1st) from 11am.  It’s mainly kits, as they seem the most in demand, plus a small number of boxes.  Pop over to my website (link in bio) to learn more about the boxes, kits, colourways, and (in case you miss the one you want) the waiting list.  #beadingkits #beadwork #beads #beadembroidery #beading A big thank you to the @beadworkers  for featuring my Floral Boxes and Kits  again - this time in the Journal's Christmas shopping section.  I do agree, they'll make super pressies either for you as beaders, or for you to gift once made, and I know several of you are already beavering away doing the latter.  I have a few boxes and kits in stock at the moment in my Etsy shop (link in bio or search 'SarahCryer' on Etsy) and we're working hard on getting ready for a medium sized release at the end of this coming week -  so keep an eye out here for more details of that. Orbit beaded sphere - something from my past!  So much of my time at the moment is taken up trying to keep at least some Floral Boxes in stock - if I'm not packing kits, spooling thread, cutting felt or re-ordering beads, then I'm running the 3D printer whilst I get on with beady or non-beady work.  I'm getting to the stage where I've almost forgotten that I do do other beading too - my frame has a big piece part done now gathering dust, my bead mat is disturbingly tidy, and my other tutorials are but a distant memory, but on the bright side I do have some boxes and kits in stock as a result.  I also have some Orbit crystals as well as the usual tutorials, so here's a reminder to myself that I can bead other things!  Orbit tutorial and hexagonal crystals available in my Etsy shop, and remember you can also make Orbit with other crystals, including 16mm or 20mm rivolis.  Link in bio/comments. Where I got to - thanks @jessicagradyembroidery for an energising workshop.  Once I stopped being too indecisive and really got going I got a lot more adventurous than I had expected!  Jess was a lovely tutor and everything she taught us was new to me, even as a pretty experienced embroiderer, and I’ve definitely never worked with materials, particularly recycled ones like this before.  This piece will sit near my desk to remind me to be more adventurous, and more sustainable.  Lovely session, and I’ve also now got my hands on some of her amazing painted washers which will appear in some beadwork soon.  #theindecisivebeader #handembroided #slowstitching #mixedmedia Ready for my @knitandstitchshows class with @jessicagradyembroidery .  Lucky me - her work looks incredible (I knew it would be good but it’s always different in real life). #stitching #ecotextileart #textileart #handembroidery Hello, just popping by to say I've been able to find time to make some more Floral Boxes and Kits, and they're now available in my Etsy shop.  Not all of the colourways - kits in the new Meadow, silk Posy, Hydrangea, Gloriosa, one lonely Viola and a couple of Dahlias, and boxes in a variety of colours.  If you don't get there quickly enough or can't see the specific colourway or size that floats your boat, then remember you can always message me or fill in the form on my website (which has all the information you'll need) to go onto the waiting list, which is as of this afternoon cleared and ready for more requests!  All the links you'll need are in my bio/comments.  #beadembroiderytutorial #flowersequins #sarahcryerbeadwork #beadwork #beadembroidery #beading #beads #handembroidery #embroidery #theindecisivebeader #beadembroidered #embroiderykit #beadingkit Really pleased with my new ‘Meadow’ colourway - it’s more vivid than the delicate pastels of ‘Posy’ but not as saturated as say ‘Gloriosa’. The filament is stunning, and has behaved very well with the 3d printer which is important to me in terms of preventing waste as well as stress.  It also includes both of my current favourite beads - lime opal teacups and acid yellow Os - many thanks to Ann at @tanzeedesigns for hunting down those, particularly the latter which has been very hard to find.  I now have enough for a few years….. plus some new sequins from India, including the printed ones an incredible citrus glittery shimmery finish to tie everything together.  These are almost sold out now as kits, what is left is in my Etsy shop (link in bio/comments) but I’ll try to put some more together and hope to have boxes for you to design your own tops ready again in a week or so.  #beadingsupplies #beadwork #beading #beadingkits #beadedboxes
