If you are a crafter or artist then I need your help! Websites like etsy and amazon are flooded with AI scam kits and art. We need to do something about this together. So on the 20th of August let’s all spend time reporting a bunch of Ai slop products and send the message that they need to go!

I made some silly little chicken earrings and a rubber ducky. The pattern is written, but uploading it will have to wait until I get my computer fixed, eventually. Thanks Nanna Di for giving me the idea to make them and while I’m not going to end up famous like your dream, I am so happy I made them.

Making progress on the base of my mini beaded tower mock up for the big one (fingers crossed). It has been slow going due too lots of interruptions. And a few beading distractions. #delicatebylou. #beading #wip

Today’s progress, one more point to go and just less than half the arches. Yay!!!

So happy to be back to working on this project! It is getting closer to being finished. Yay. #beadwork #3dbeading #delicatebylou #mathart #wip

I forgot to post the cube sphere I finished last week it was directly inspired by a kusudama by @siun_kusudama on insta, which was so cool I just had to recreate it in beadwork! Also good news between the gofundme, christmas sales and my own funds I managed to buy enough beads to finish the mandal!!

Unfortunatly i used up the last of my white cone and only have 2 small bobbins left. I did get a lot of parts made in the last 2 days and will hopefully get the last five done and start putting the stars together. And my dogo was being a sook this morning!

Had lunch with dad today. It seems crazy to see the horizon without a whole bunch of coal ship!

Stars, stars and more stars!

I’ve been spending the last few months working on baubles for my kickstarter.

Doing my best to get ready with what I currently have. Fingers crossed.

I am not fond of editing photos but am getting it done.

Bead soup is not for everyone but it always looks interesting. Each piece is always unique. But don’t be fooled it takes effort to make it look random and not splotchy. #beadwork #beading

Sad for you.

It is not for anything, I am just making it because I want to, because I dreamed it up, because I want to see it made. And no I don’t know what I am going to do with it when it is finished, there is no room for it in my display cabinets it’s too big! So who knows?

For anyone interested these are the colors I want to make it with, and I’ve made some baubles with the same pattern, just smaller. Let me know what you think.

So I don’t have the beads for this, like at all but ended up working out how many beads it would take to make it (if I did the maths right). Not my biggest count which is 37260 beads but it would be my second highest and the largest sculpture if I get to make it!

I finally finished making the yellow parts for the mandala and am on to the orange, unfortunatly I am almost out of orange beads! 🥲 I did get around to setting up my patreon and will be using it as a free blog with some paid content to raise funds to be able to keep beading.

Wow even in Australia the gulf of ‘America’ bs is being spread! Crazy.

After a lot of delays I finally finished the green section, three more colors to go. Though it might be a while before I get to finish them as I will have to save more for beads and thread. Thanks to everyone who has followed my progress so far. #beadwork #wip #louisecarter #delicatebylou #mathart

From tiny beads to a large work in wip. Unless you already know what I do it can be hard to work it out from the photos. So for anyone interested I sew together tiny glass beads with thread. #beadwork #wip #geometric #delicatelou #louisecarter #mathart

I had the day off today and Made up for yesterday’s lack of progress. Will have to restart making green shapes again tomorrow but happy to be just over the 1/2 way mark in green. Not sure when I will be able to buy more red beads. #wip #beadwork #delicatebylou #louisecarter #geometric #mathart

I didn’t get much beading done today as I had lunch with dad, grocery shopping with mum and an unexpected early shift for work. I do have tomorrow off and apparently will have to have 3 days off next week because I am working 6 days this week. 🤷‍♀️ #beading #wip #louisecarter #delicatebylou

I just remembered to leave an exit review for what was Twitter. Don’t forget to update your reviews to reflect how it is now.

I almost managed to get another whole section of green in today before an early shift at work. I think the diameter will roughly be almost a meter. I am going to have to scrounge up money to buy a lot more thread as this project is just eating it. #wip #beading #louisecarter #delicatebylou

I finally started adding the green shapes on to this mandala sculpture! So happy as I’ve not been able to make progress for ages due to lack of beads. #beadwork #beading #louisecarter #delicatebylou #wip #craft
