Red poppy rope beaded necklace and earrings jewelry set

Hi all, Have been through hard times lately and to take things easier decided to try crochet with seed beads. Found online gorgeous necklaces and bracelets but didn't have any idea how to make such beautiful pieces of jewellery. Floral patterns caught my eye especially ones with red poppies as red poppy symbolizes remembrance of those who died in war. In Ukraine red poppy is also widely used in traditional folk embroidery and paintings. I used the pattern created by Helgla to make a beautiful jewellery beaded set with red poppies. The pattern can be found here The bead rope has 22 seed beads in circumference, one rapport (a repetitive motif) consists of 61 rows and 1349 beads in two shades of green, three shades of red, yellow, white and black. Instead of white background I made a black one.

If you are a crocheter I suggest give it a go with seed beads to create such a beauty. Thanks Helgla!

Got new variegated crochet cotton in pretty yellow-pink-green colours and decided to make a bluebell lariat for the spring season. Added some bright green balls embellishments and sparkly green leaves and here is my new addition to the collection.
