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
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 And we're off (again) - another big batch of Floral Box kits  and Boxes are now live in my Etsy shop (link in bio/comments). One new colour in this batch - Meadow, which is a multicoloured floral in mid colours (so more intense than the pastels but not as intense as the brights). I've also found a new silk filament for the Posy in the same colour as the previous matte, but even prettier (and less tricky to print). More about both of those later - must take and share more pics and videos of them before they go........ It's been lovely to see some pictures of your Floral Boxes over the last few days, so exciting.  I've been making a new colourway too, so if you'd like to try a box or even a kit yourself, you'll be happy to know that I'll have some stock available in this and other colourways within the next few days.  I just have a few tasks to complete like winding thread and cutting felt tops, and I'm waiting for more packing boxes to be delivered., so I'll let you know the release time  here once that's all done.  However I would say please don't panic or rush - I've listened to you carefully and once this batch is out I'll switch from big drops to trying to maintain steady stock, and will when I can, plug gaps on a request basis.  That means if what you actually want is gone when you want to shop you'll be able to ask me for specific colourways and sizes rather than just choosing what's left - so no more FOMO, just hopefully a short wait to get exactly what you want. Apologies for the silence over here - as I’m sure you’ll have guessed I took some time away over the summer holidays to focus on family, but school is back (Y8 and Y12), so normal bead obsessed content will resume soon.  Boxes are back in production, beads for kits are in order, and some beading is even happening (particularly now it’s not too hot to bead). I do have some admin to clear, plus the day job is busy, but once that’s under control you’ll see more of me.  #beadwork #microbusiness #smallbusinesssummer I made extra Floral Box kits this time, and there are still a couple left, including some sizes of Sakura.  This takes a pink and gold silk finish box, then Sarahs it up with acid green O beads, lime green teacups, some beautiful shell pink flat flower sequins, coral sequins and some lovely orange and yellow flowers with a gold sheen.  Available now in my Etsy shop (link in bio/comments). #beading #beadwork #beads #beadingkit #sakura
