ATTS-8



Welcome to another A Time To Stitch.  These are always such fun blog hops, I never want to miss one.  I knew I wanted to do a fully beaded amulet bag, but for the longest time I couldn't figure out exactly what.  I rummaged through my old, dusty box of Delicas -- loom or peyote? 


An elaborate pattern wasn't going to work, so I went with a patchwork feel using 3-drop peyote (which just like regular peyote but you pick up 3 beads at a time).  It was the perfect choice as I didn't have to pay too much attention.  


I will be in the middle of a move while the hop is going on, so I will look at everyone's blog just as soon as I can.  I can't wait!

An enormous thank you to Christine and Therese, they are a dynamic duo and always host amazing hops.  I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Happy beading everyone.  Here is the list:

  3. Hi Liz,
    Awesomely beautiful amulet bag. I love all the colors and the fringe, I agree with Cynthia it must make a beautiful noise when worn. Good luck with your move. Thank you for joining in on this round of ATTS and hope to see you in the next one.

  4. Liz, great mosaic amulet bag, so simple but so effective too. Just peyote (3 drop peyote is my favourite as it is done faster) and any colour of beads. It can be done with leftovers too. I loved seeing your piece.
    Happy beading.

  6. I love it so! Your bag is so alive!!! The colors jump and laugh and shout and clap ~ they are colors of joy :-) I love the patchwork look, the fringe, strap, the possibilities of the scraps of poems tucked inside the bag. Even in the middle of a move, you bring it. I cannot thank you enough for being here :-)

  9. What a great, cheerful, bright and happy bag! I'm sure it will bring you an extra smile whenever you wear it. 3-drop peyote was a great idea, because it ended up really looking like a patchwork pieced quilt. Fun!

  15. Just love your interpretation and especially how you carried the color blocks into the fringe and straps. You mention being able to create it while not paying too much attention but the placement of the colors looks like it would be pretty darn complicated. Just beautiful!
