Beaded Ornaments by Sherry |
|
|
|
First, please note that photography is just not my strong suit, and my digital camera seems to snap to the right of the frame in the sight box cutting off some of the items. (I'll remember that the next time!)
Secondly, most of these are not my own design, although I have made some minor changes to them (color, adding a bead here and there, wired for stiffness, etc.) the basic designs are mostly from other sources. The No. 3 banner is my own design and there are several others that I designed and gave away for Christmas, mostly sports team flags and logos. I am currently designing patterns for several beaded banners that have been requested and hope to post them in the future.
And finally, I am interested in your opinions. Please drop me an email and let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new ideas and thoughts on changes that could be made. |

These are ornaments made for several holidays. I've posted better photos of some of them below.
The Frankenstein is adorable except that the jade colored beads are just to dark to show his face. I plan to make another one with lighter green beads so hopefully he'll show up better.
The five leaf poinsetta was an accident. It was supposed to be the same pattern as the white snowflake on the opposite side of the photo but I missed one of the spurs. Some time later, my son pointed out that it needed another leaf.
The only Thanksgiving ornament I have right now is the indian corn, although the candy corn and mini pumpkin would also work. |

Click on the thumbnails for a larger picture of these great ornaments. The Christmas ornaments on the left have been a big hit, but not as big as the patriotic theme below. |

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, along with these there are several others that can be seen in the larger photo above. The witch and goblin photo didn't turn out, but they are cute mini ornaments. |

Beaded Banners by Sherry |
|
|
|
To save space I've made these all thumbnail links to the larger, more detailed photos. The sizes on these vary a great deal, and these are by no means the largest ones. To date, the largest banner I've made was an OSU logo I designed for my brother, the final measurement was approximately 19 X 22 inches and it had over 1000 beads laced into it. The smallest was a Michigan M that was about 2 X 3 for a friend's rear-view mirror. (The brother and the friend get along as long as the conversation is NOT about sports!) |

I'm working on the Labonte 5 for my husband and have a few friends that are asking for other drivers. Not to mention many requests for this one. My thanks go out to my youngest brother for the idea. |

These are great in a window where the sun shines through them! |

This is one of my larger banners at 10" in width and 15" in length. Hanging length is 22". This, along with a welcome heart and an apple banner were my first beading projects. They were made from kits produced by The Beadery and continue to be some of my favorite designs. |

These santa's can be hung either direction and are adorable facing each other as a set. |
