Ostara Beads - Wheel of the Year

These are the eight seasonal beads I made, one for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Here in the southern hemisphere where I live we are experiencing Spring, although with the cold wet weather we had today it didn't much feel like it. Below are the beads for the Spring Equinox, you can read more about this HERE.

I made these Ostara seasonal beads using some pastel colours that represent this season, here I used pink, blue and pearl beads along with pink spacer beads. I used a total of 46 beads, not including the pink rhodonite stone spacer beads I used to create this.

Embroidered Star Sign Constellations - Gemini

This embroidered star sign constellation for Gemini was made as a gift. I purchased a packet to these mini framed cards that I thought perfect for this purpose. The actual framed card size is about 9.5cm by 9cm, and the inside window which has the silken navy blue material that I embroidered on with white is about 6cm by 4.5cm. I finished by stamping the word Gemini across the top of the card in blue ink using my alphabet stamps.
