Mother Earth Pendant - Beading Around A Cabochon 

I love your chitty chat. Your calm voice helps keep me centered and focused. I like your style, also. You have a Victorian quality in your pieces that I like.

I love your work you explain so well. If you pick up the 2 x 11's and let them drop down to the stiff stuff , then all you have to do is place your needle in front of the 11's and then no guessing xx

I'm about to finish this using a Czech round cab red and gold dragonfly 22mm. OMG! So much fun! I feel like Rumpelstiltskin spinning gold. 🤗 I have been collecting supplies to follow your videos for months now. This is my first project like this. Thank you so much 💚💙💛

ugh. happy to have found your video after breaking two needles in chamois. lovely work. i ordered some materials you suggested, and even ordered the book! so beautiful! thanks

A small FYI for you, if you try double faced tape rather than E6000 you will have just as nice a finished piece without smell, too much getting close to the edge and no waiting to work! Cut it so that it comes right up to the edge without going past so your needle does not get into the "gummy bits". Also for those of you who sew, heavy interfacing works every bit as well as Lacy's Stiff stuff and allows for larger pieces to be made in one piece. Great tutes and this may sound weird, but I enjoy listening to you teach as you have a very pleasant voice. Keep up the great job!

Thank you, Stephanie! Love how you show all the details. It makes learning something new easier! 💛

I wanted to update you on my work: I made 5 rows around the cabochon and I was really happy because it had come very well! then, when I pasted the suede fabric with white glue, I could not complete the last row because it was too hardened and the needle was not able to get in! It was a big trouble because I had to remove everything, but it is not important, I now begin again! I wanted to thank you again for the tutorial, you made me learn a very valuable technique that I really like. I did not have much experience with the beads, so far I had only used them to embroider the wedding dresses for tailoring, but this process gives me a lot more satisfaction!

So beautiful Stephanie, YOu are a very talentuous lady. Thanks a lot for sharing .Appreciate it very much.

Absolutely gorgeous! You certainly know how to pick colors!

I am rewatching your videos - love them all! just got my beads out and trying to reorganize them - they are a hot mess. watching your videos gets me motivated!! thank you for taking the time to make them. you are so patient and take the time needed to make sure the steps are covered. Have a great day!

WOW! Finally! ..... About a year ago while visiting Niagara I found these amazingly pretty uneven Stones (not cabochons). We filled a little Gem bag to overflowing capacity. I thought I could just drill a hole and voila! A necklace! HUH! not so much! This is a huge relief to see! Your creativity has no bounds my beading sister (don't sell yourself short!) Life saving videos just fly out of your mind! Thank you! thank you! thank you!! Trying bead embroidery is not only interesting but also necessary (my hubby will be surprised, No useless little stones, he was the one who tried to drill them) lol! It may take a few rough starts as the rocks are uneven and probably not sloped like they should be, but it sure is worth a try! I will certainly let you know how it works out when I am able to drag myself away from other projects I have on the go. Thank you again for sharing! Gorgeous necklace! You rock!!

Beautiful! 💕 I was given a turquoise cabochon a while a go and I had no idea what to do with it (something so that I could wear) and this is it! 😁 I love your tutorials and your color combinations.

I would love to see you make this into a bracelet. Thank you for this tutorial. I think I will start off with bead embroidered earrings. I am not brave enough yet to start a bracelet. This video has, however, given me the courage to start an earring project. I have the design completed so, I just need to start the beading. I love everything you teach us and I am so grateful that you so sweetly take the time to show us each step of the way.

I love this beaded cabochon look. It has an antique vintage flavor to it. Thanks Stephanie! 😉🌺🌸🌹🥀🥀🌸

Magnifique médaillon, moi j'en peins, avec une loupe à l'acrylique je fais des fleurs des paysages des forets et quand ils sont secs je les colle sous un globe en verre et après je les colle sur un support c'est très spécial des tableaux miniatures ovales, je fais les chaînes c'est très spécial j'adore créer de mes mains et je fais de jolies bagues je les sertis et après je les colle sur des bagues plates elles paraissent acheter en bijouterie, je ne travaille qu'avec du Swarovski et je vous admire, c'est tellement bien fini à bientôt Nadine

This looks much easier for a beginner than actually bezel setting with beads, I'm going to try this

Your videos are super clear! I bought some stiff but porous interfacing today and am going to try it. Thanks for all of your time and effort!

Your work is beautiful. Thanks for the great lesson.

I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge and time! Your tutorial is so informative and I love your voice. You've given me the impetus and confidence to start my own project 🌺

Your work is beautiful! I am definitely a beginner and hope to try this. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your tutorial, you are a great teacher! I have made a few embroidered pieces, and noticed that if you spread out the E6000 too far out beyond the cab, it gets a bit tricky to pass the needle through easily, you might want to mention that to warn newbies! I love your color combos too, so classy, and almost like "real" jewelry, keep on teaching and inspiring!

So lovely!....., love your easy instructions, I love how you laugh at yourself, I think you dont really know how talented you are...Thank you so much, I really learned a lot....would love to know how you used the dogs to make the bail please...

Thank you for a great tutorial, Stephanie!

Que bello trabajo, muchas gracias, saludos desde chile 🇨🇱 estoy aprendiendo mucho con tus videos y explicas muy bien 👍

Hi Stephanie, I want to thank you for this tutorial and well as the others in this type of beading. I really enjoyed this project and your detailed instructions and guidance was wonderful as usual. I got the book by Jamie Cloud Eakin and enjoyed it and treasure it. This necklace reminded me of my second grade teacher and her style of jewelry. I will be doing more of this because it is fun and enjoyable. g.farmer

This is so stunning...... I love it! As soon as I get my cabs I'm going to try this project! I was so thrilled to see a video from you tonight....TFS!

Attempting this for the 1st time!!!! I will let you know how it turns out :) This is a method I have wanted to try since 1st beginning to bead, so I was thrilled when I found such a GREAT tutorial on it!!! Thanks again for doing what you do for us beaders!!! :) :) I also found your FB page & requested to join.

thank you very much for sharing i absolutely love love love your tutorials, i am so inspired by you i have followed this tutorial to make gifts for my friends and they love what ive made!!! at last someone who is not constantly super zoomed in so i can see exactly what you are doing. once again thank you i shall be watching all your videos! take care and stay safe much love from the UK

I love this look with the bi-cones. This look makes it look very elegant. As always, your work is beautiful.

Very pretty. Im just starting to learn beaded embroidery. I love it

I'm going to give this a try when I get everything together. You make it look easy, beautiful work and wow great teacher !

Beautiful lesson!

Can’t wait to try this! Something new for me to create Thank you so very much!🌹

I've never tried this, but I just received an order of a bunch of stone cabochons, placed an order for the backings and can't wait to try!

Just completed this GORGEOUS pendant, Stephanie, and am about to tackle the bail. I completely agree that it would make a stunning centerpiece for a bracelet. I don't have the creative chops that you do, so I won't even attempt to design anything. If you get a chance, can you post a video using this element in a bracelet? I can visualize a beautiful band with matching bicones hugging the element!

hi stephanie great teacher i tryed the other way and it is way hard to get the cabochon to stay in and the tread row was hard to follow, but this is the much easer way i think with the lacy stiff, i have felt i think i can use it . i will see if i can sew threw it first.

As always! I love your creation. They are all classic in designed. Awesome 😍✨

G'Day My Wonderful Friend, How did you know that your wonder Down Under needed an enlightening video to sooth away the tension that this dreaded sewing project is causing me? A very large Pavloa moment I feel coming up. And what a fantastic one it is..... your worth your weight in baubles and gold. I think that this is one of your most beautiful pieces that you have done. The title, the stones and the colours are just out of this world....stunning and chic. I order two cabochons on the 20th of Jan and they were sent the next day (one is very similar to yours and the other is Dragon Veins in greens and blues) and I am still waiting for them to arrive. They are now almost 4 weeks late past the end of the postage time.....not very happy!!!!!! They are being sent from China and I think that they are on the "slowest Sampan" that needs refueling every 10 k's !!! It was the only place I could buy them from. After seeing this little teaser (the video) I am even more excited for them to arrive. I am so in love with Bead Embroidery and I have already several designs tucked away in my little grey cells... my muse and I are sooooo excited !!!!!. I think that you did a masterful way of teaching and my little polar bear don't sell yourself short.... you are "good". I didn't think that you would be doing any videos over Easter ...... this is better than a basket full of Easters Eggs. I'm not really into chocolate so that's why I think that it is better. I know that Easter is nearly over but I would like to wish you and your family a very Happy, Safe and Magical Easter. Sam (hubby) had to work Good Friday and Monday so it has been very quiet ... well except for the occasional out burst from the lady at the sewing machine!!!!!! I think that my family (including the girls) were ready packing to go to my sons house until the nightmare is finished..... tomorrow I hope. I think that while in bed to night I will calmly walk through one of my centering odes.....I think that I need a good cleansing of the body, soul and mind. So before this turns into another of those "War and Peace Novels" and as evening is now approaching I will wish you a good night from your wonder Down Under my Little Polar Bear and send you many many Easter Blessings.......XXXXXOOOOOOX

You bet I will. I just ordered a lot of both beads so when I do something with them I will post it

Thank you very much

Wow! Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

very good tutorial you went slow for us beginners to learn can't wait til your next video

thank you for the easy to follow instructions. yes, nice voice too :D very soothing.

Great video! Love your work! Thanks for your time, we all know how much work it is to work with a camera in front of you

Absolutely love this! Also very happy to see another video, thanks Stephanie.

Wonderful ❤

You inspired me - almost finished a purply one. Had no bicones so used 4mm pearls, looks ok. Posted a pic on your facebook page.

I'm looking (again) this video because I have to embed some polymer clay cabochon and I want to learn very well all the steps. as usual great tutorial and your voice is soooo pleasant ...

LOVE!!!!!!...... and looking forward to a bracelet??????? I think a bracelet would be stunning!

I really think that you are great in explaining and making an awesome pendant!

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!

I love it. I would love to see this in a bracelet thank you

i told my husband i want to redecorate our spare room into a beading room😆👍❤🎂 i love this necklace

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've learned a lot, bought the book too.

hi there I love watching/listening to your tutorials! just so personal 😊 easy to watch and learn and i cant wait to make this. thankyou for your time and efforts 😙

Nothing you do is a boo boo, all very helpful and lovely to watch and try out !

Thank you . I’m going to try this

What a delightful pendant!!!!! ..... I immediately got a picture in my head: a royal necklace with 5 or 7 of your pendants, but how to join them together, ha? ... A necklace for a Quin, serious stuff.... You have such a great imagination, dear, maybe you'll have some idea? :))) Thank you for all your work anyway, it is really admirable:)))

Beautiful. I hope you do a bracelet and earrings. I'm so greedy, but I really like this. 😊

Es muy bonito todo lo que haces, gracias por compartir tu hermoso trabajo.

Beautiful

Very nice video! It would have helped greatly if the bead colors had contrasted with the cabochon and with each other. The beads are hard to see. Thanks!

This really answered a question I had regarding edging....thanks!!

Beautiful design!

Esto queria aprender bella dama, muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos.Todas sus prendas que elabora, me encantan. Las hace tan perfectas. Millón Gracias y Bendiciones.Espero me salude algun dia. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰👉🏻💯❌💯🥰🥰👈🇪🇨❤👈🤞💪🤝🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

Instead of estimating where the beads will go, just pull your beads down to the stiff stuff

Gracias por ese tutorial..trabajas hermoso. Me he inspirado para hacerlo...

Hello I really like this tutorial, you are doing a great job. I have purchased a Beadweaving with Cabochons and never made one but I want to but, I need a little push. Thank you.

That is beautiful, would love it as a bracelet😘👏

Hi Stephanie, you know I am your fan number 1, and like all tour videos, and as well think you are very funny sometimes..... lol,were should I go with my Little experience................ like you........... and learn so quickly beadembroidery..... specially the last part in backing .............lol............, really beginners "masterclass", well done for it looks lovely the bicones in between 2 beads, I must try this technic.............thanks very much as always ERES GRANDE, contigo siempre se aprende mucho. and your capacity to make it look simple ............ how is going on your spanish? mother earth is proud of you..... lol

What kind of beads did you use for the necklace to go with the pendant? I love the look of the smoky looking beads. They remind me of Labradorite a bit. Beautiful work as usual!

I was thinking my cab might have a higher dome than what you are using in the video. So I was thinking if I added more rows it would come up higher over the dome of the cab to secure it.

Absolutely gorgeous! You are amazing. I love this and a huge thank you.

Beautiful !!! (as always).........

Lovely

Happy New year Bronce Pony , I love your Designs , specially this one. Greetings

Amazing work😍

Beatiful thank you that you explain in an easy and clear

Thank you! I still love it!

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I did a fossil I am pleased how it turned out. I am planning on using it for a bracelet but not sure how to go about doing it. Any suggestions?

Thank you for inspiration!

I may try to learn peyote using the Lacey Stuff . Just start the first few rows on Lacey and then continue on without Lacey. I will lose the rows I did on the Lacey when I pull the threads out, but as I see it I will have a good foundation. 🌸🌺🥀🌺🌸 😉

Deli as. Not what I typed previously. Also Pendant. Sorry for the typos.

I am working on this necklace now. but, I don't want my bicones curved under like this one on the necklace already. I like your 2nd example, how did you work those bicones

Great video

Love this, terrific tutorial

Es precioso, quiero hacerlo!

I am working on one of these right now and I am wondering why you use a fresh piece of thread for every round of seed beads? I hate threading my needle so I tend to use longer pieces of thread to avoid having to start a new piece and having to thread the needle. That said, your pieces are always so beautiful, I can't help but think you have a good reason for using multiple pieces of thread instead of one long one?

Is there a video for the necklace that you have with the Cana chin?

Sorry Stephanie it's me again!! I measured it, I left 1/2 inch all the way around. Thank you. Robin

Gracias 🤗🌻🍓🌸😬

this is just great love your instruction. would you bee able to do something with piggy beads and diamond beads. thank you for what you do.

I love your work Stephanie, how would you attach this beautiful bezelled cabochon to a beaded bracelet? Would you be able to do a tutorial? I'm a big fan, Monica.

I love the ring your wearing in this video. What is the name of it so I can find the video to make it?

I don't think you mentioned Jamie Cloud Eakin's book. Do you like it? Thank you

I thought you needed an even number of beads to begin with to do peyote o. The next row?

SOBRE QUE TELA SE BORDA? Y CON CUAL SE FORRA?. MUCHAS GRACIAS. EL VIDEO ES MAGNIFICO.

Would you be willing to show a picture of the ring you are wearing during this tutorial? Looking for the color combination and name of the tutorial for it..... Please and thank you

Hi Stephanie, I received my items to make this in the mail today! Yay! The square of Lacy's stiff stuff I glued my cabochon onto is smaller than yours, should I pull it off and make it larger like yours is??

I have a pattern that I made for the wisdom symbol. It is a rather large pattern, on paper, but I didn't put any cabs in it. I can't find a video without cabs. Do you have any?
