Pokemon Project: Squirtle



Finishing the starter series, I'd like to show off the Squirtle set. Squirtle was my first starter when I first played the original Blue, so I put even more thought into these than I do on my usual projects.

The best thing about these was that my dad, who does chainmail and wanted to put beads in chain bracelets at one point, decided to use colored rings instead and gave me a bunch of beads in the exact colors I needed to make these. While I did have to spend some money, these projects were not as expensive as they could have been.

Squirtle:


These were made only with things I bought myself. Still, they're Squirtle-y enough. The big beads are a much lighter brown, but as I've mentioned, I have a bad flash and my house gets shadowy.

 Wartortle:


This bracelet was mostly made with the beads my dad gave me. The big brown bead is in the center and a lot of little brown and blue ones are in there, but the rest of it came from him.

 Blastoise:


To finish off the set, I used almost nothing but the beads Dad gave me and the blue and brown ones I bought myself.

I had a lot of fun with these, but I have a lot of fun with all of my beading projects. I might end up keeping these myself, but I'm not sure.

Pokemon Project: Bulbasaur

I did it. My first ever complete jewelry set. The first Pokémon family in the official list - the Grass-type starter Pokémon that started it all, Bulbasaur. It's one of those Pokémon that even my mother recognizes. Unfortunately, my camera's flash isn't working as well as it could. If it was, you would be able to see the pretty green I chose for my beads. I've decided to keep the set, anyway. Bulbasaur: The earrings were made with beads I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Ivysaur: I used the same strands of beads for the bracelet, and this one does have an error. I used two pink beads in a row when the pattern said no, but I did decide to keep these. UPDATE: I changed the chain closure to a flower toggle clasp, in keeping with the Ivysaur theme. Venusaur: I used beads from the other two sets for the necklace, and I didn't get those from the clearance aisle. I did get the big pink beads from another clearance strand, and I made the charm

Introduction

Hi, I'm Nora, and I have a creativity addiction. I've been running the Baking in Black cooking blog for years, but I haven't been doing much for it lately. That's why I started a blog for any other kind of creativity. Here, I'll show pictures of my current projects, links to my video tutorials on YouTube, my self-imposed challenges, and entire blog posts on where I get my inspiration from. As you can tell, I have plans for this blog. I still don't know what it's going to be like in even a year's time, but maybe my readers will get to see me get better at art. Probably not, though. Why should I do art when I have my brother to do art for me?

Pokemon Project: Spearow

Image
Since the broken necklace from the auction gave me enough brown beads to make Fearow, I did not go shopping for this family. It took a while to get started even after I had the design in mind, because my wrist was bothering me again. Again, I used only leftover beads, so I didn't have to spend any money. Spearow: These earrings used two of the last four feathers, and some shiny beads from my Pidgeot necklace. Fearow: This bracelet used some of the beads from a broken necklace, the same one I used for Raticate's bracelet. It also has beads in it that I bought for the Pidgey line. I'm still going on this challenge. I am also starting to feel the strain on my budget. But I have a craft fair coming up and am still looking for jobs, so I might be able to replace some of what I spent on this project.
