On the Bench Today - The first Medicine Bottle :)

in beadwork •  7 years ago 

I am sooo excited, because once wrapped these bottles take 72 size 11/0 beads...That means, endless possibilities in design!! This one is done in Peyote stitch, but gourd will work well too. I think these bottles were Made to bead :D

I always begin with one free form design when I will be making many, so I can count, see how I will bead the curves, etc...Then I have a base for designing the patterns forever. I have not beaded the cap yet, but this is how the first bottle looks so far.

Cvery cool work

Thank you very much :)

You are welcome.

Wow those colors really show up from a mile away!!
awesome pattern and boldness of glow, very pretty to me @elew

haha, yes they do...I like neon sometimes. I figured for the trial run I would do a pretty one that little girls might like too, because there are many children who take daily meds. They come out so pretty :)

I like how you did the caps on the needle case holders with the
star burst is real neat looking and no child proof caps!
Big kids like them colors toooooo lol
I know I got some the hot looking pink color that's the shade!

These caps are so much bigger, I tried a spiraling and it worked well :) Yeah, no child proof makes it so much easier.
