Tale of Sofa Set

I have been looking for something interesting to share. Finally got it.

The Sofa Set :

I have a tale to tell you about this sofa set. The age of this sofa is not less than 28yrs. It is as beautiful as is. Its made from beads. Got this from my Husband's Granny few years back. She was such a beautiful lady with lot of talent.

People call these days as miniature but this trend was already there 50years ago and housewives used to bead during the afternoon hours when after completing their household work.

They really used to utilize utmost time in so much of creativity. Hats off to all the beautiful ladies of generations.

Would love to hear comment on this.

Its Friday!
So Happy!
Cheers!

Wire Tree with Beaded Fruit

It deadly hot weather over here. Feeling like not doing anything and just sit under the fan. The summer in Gujarat is intolerable with water crises.

 

Hi friends this is alka and I am back with my new project. Golden Tree. This project is very easy to make. Its all to do with the twisting of wire. You can use any colour ofcourse. I chose to use gold, my Fav. Ha Ha.

 

You just need.

1. Moti / Beads

2. Golden Wire / (any colour if it is available in your locality)

3. Golden Leaves / Again any colour.

4. Soft clay / Vessel to put the tree for support.

 

The method is very simple. You have to take the tip end. Pour from the end one bead (here you can follow 2 steps)

 

Step1.

 

From the tip bring to the middle of the wire and start twisting. Pack one bead. Again pour one more bead, bring the same to the middle and twist. In one wire you can use 6beads for 25cm length.

 

Step 2.

 

You start twisting from the end and carry on until the wire exhausted.

 

Mine is little thick. I have 20 branches. If the tree is very thick around 25 such branches or more it can stand without support. So what I mean to say is the thicker the tree, the beautiful is the outcome.

 

I have some step by step photos for your to see.

 

Happy Weekend!!
