Sequins Flowers Called Pink Roses

I'm always amazed how beaders created some flowers, using beads, sequins & pearls. They're are all sooo so beautiful yet intricate. Sometimes I spent almost hours looking at the photos of these flowers, analyzing how to they're made.

The moment my sister in law gave me her jubah to work on, I already decided to stitch sequins flowers on it. So for my 2nd project, I use pink & milky sequins with red beads and white pearls to add some colours to her light brown jubah. On the overall, I still not satisfied with my work. I know I need more practice in order to get the perfect skills.

My (not so) Newly Found Love...

Beads & Sequins Embroidery is something new to me. Due to difficulty to get back to employment for almost 1 year, I decided to pick up beads & sequins embroidery. I signed up for a class by Amoi2505 some time in April 2009. Before this, many of my friends has been persuaded me to learn beads & sequins embroidery so that I could generate some income from beading. Although I'm a bit hesitate at early stage, but later I found that I'm falling in love again - this time with beads & sequins !

The 20 techniques I learnt from my beads embroidery class.

My 1st beads embroidery wuz pyramid design on my old orangy baju kurung. I wanted to mix orange and turquoise beads for this design. But I couldn't find the right turqoise beads, so I opt for dark brown & orange combination instead. For this simple design, it took me MONTHS to complete juz for both hands. Ha.. ha.. ha.. it's not bcoz I'm slow but I could not find time to complete it after I get back to working life. BTW, I finally get a job a month after my beads embroidery class.

My 1st ever creations - combination of orange & brown pyramid design

So far other than this pyramid designs, I have been working on 2-3 other projects and will show it here, later...

lotsa love from me,
