Okay, it's time for for the reveal of the A TIME TO STITCH 2 challenge, hosted by Therese and Christine.
I'm a bit nervous as these are my first steps in beadweaving, but I already love it very much. That means this is only the beginning and you will see more from me in the future :-)
Let's start with the CRAW - the first one I've tried. I made a bracelet
and a pair of earrings.
The second stich I learned was St. Petersburg and I made a bracelet (with polymer clay buttons),
a pair of earrings
and two rings.
My design is quite simple, I'm still learning the basics, but I like it that way. They are all my experiments, I did not use any tutorials (except for learning the stitch itself). I know I havent't invented anything new, but I came to this solutions by myself. I'm kind of proud of it ... and I already have a lot of ideas to realize in the future :-)

Alenka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so impressed with your first try at this!! BRAVO! I'm in love with those CRAW earrings. Absolutely gorgeous. YOu are so talented!
Alenka~I am in awe of your first time abilities! You already look like you have been doing it for years! Your CRAW earrings are fabulous and I love the bracelet too. Your St. Petersburg is fantastic! A Double Double bracelet- What a beautiful Look! And whenever I was working on this stitch, I kept wrapping it around my finger, thinking it would look great as a ring, so I was thrilled you made one. Keep weaving Alenka! And thanks so much for signing up for then challenge :-)
So hard to believe this is your first time!? WOW you totally killed it! bracelet, earrings and ring! WOW all gorgeous!
Love, love, love that ring! What a great idea! Your craw is beautiful, the earrings turned out great. Your design style is just perfect!
Wow! Fantastic work! Welcome to the wonder super addicting work of beadweaving! I really love all your pieces! I just can't pick one as a favorite because they are all my favorites! <3
Alenka!!! Wow!!! I can't believe these pieces are your first attempts at beadweaving. Beautiful work!! You did such a great job creating with the two stitches!!! I love the CRAW earrings, FABULOUS!!!
Those are all amazing. I love how you used each stitch in so many different ways. The St. Petersberg earrings are awesome, as is the ring. I would never have thought of those. :)
These are lovely, I would not have thought this was your first beadweaving! My first attempts were not this good. I love the idea of the earrings and ring. Really great.

Hi Alenka,
Thank you so much for join in on mine and Christine's challenge.
Wow you hit a home run on these I love them all! No way this is your first time girlfriend, these are amazing you are a natural born bead weaver. I love the CRAW bracelet and the double, double St Petersburg bracelet the earrings both sets are to die for and the ring awesome! I hope that you will join us again in the next ATTS challenge.
Therese
I love that you learned the stitches and then created your own designs. Cubic right angle weave is a difficult stitch to pick up, I can't imagine tackling it as a new beader. SO impressed with your work!
For a beginning stitcher you have created beautiful pieces! They are all fantastic!
I think the earrings - both sets- are amazing! I think I like them better than the bracelets. Great work!
Hi Pepita, All your pieces turned out beautifully. I think the CRAW earrings are my favorite ;) Excellant work!
Oh my goodness you did such a marvelous job for first time. You are going to love this new addictive hobby. I love all your pieces - just fantastic!
Welcome to the ranks of seed beaders! ;)
Beautiful work; looks like you had a lot of fun!
Those are gorgeous! I love the earrings, totally to die for!
I love both your sets - you did a wonderful, wonderful job. The ring is an awesome idea :)
Alenka, wonderful job! I agree with Mandy -- I love the earrings. :)
Your designs are quite beautiful Alenka! I love the results of your experimentation!
The trim on the bracelet is purchased that way .. it is cord purchased at the fabric store for pillows (you buy on a roll like you would ribbon). I just stitched it together so it lined either side of the bracelet!
