OSTARA Brooch/Pendant SBF

OSTARA

 Was designed February 2025, using my Spirala Beading Frames SBF

OSTARA (Éostre) is the Germanic goddess of spring. 

From the name of this goddess comes the English Easter and the German Ostern 

(both meaning “Easter.”)

It symbolizes spring, that's why I made one of them white (it's a goodbye to winter) and the other colorful (it's a symbol of flowers and new life).

 

Material:

 Spirala Beading Frames SBF, Czech pressed Wavy leaf and Tulip petals by Rutkovsky Beads

 and Japanese seed beads

 Pendant diameter is about 5,3 cm.

Tulips in the Wind without tulips? YES :)

Tulips in the Wind is one of my older designs, designed June 2020 for Rutkovsky Beads.

 

Sewn modules from the Tulips in the Wind design can be used also without tulips -

module works with other beads too. 

Table cut Dragonfly Coins are accompanied by drop beads were used instead of Tulip in this variation.

Classic Tulip in the wind module is using Bay leaf, Bell Flower Cup, Baby Bell Flower and round pressed beads.

IDALIA Beaded Bead SBF

 IDALIA Beaded Bead - SBF

IDALIA is a name with Greek roots. 

This name refers to a location dedicated to sun god worship, embodying the phrase “behold the sun,” 

 a poetic nod to the awe-inspiring nature of the sun and its flowers. 

Designed and beaded on  my #SBF - Spirala Beading Frames

 With Czech two-hole StormDuo pressed beads, Seed beads and Czech chatons.

 

I would like to thank my students for lending me the finished beaded beads for photographing 

Pavlína Vopeláková, Helena Fuschsová, Lenka Šimáčková. 

This beaded bead is very variable, by slightly changing the placement of StormDuo at least 3 different variations can be created.

Closed flower type + opened flower type

Tulip flower type is shown on this dark metallic green beaded bead.
