And this one, pattern available in store. I am not sure if I can publish it out "there" yet, as I sent a more detailed/wider version to B&B for possible publication, I need to hear back from them.
Anyways, its called Lorraine's chain, because Raine (short for Lorraine) who works here made one and she hardly ever does needle/thread work! So if she can do it, so can the rest of you!
note: I had a question from a beader asking where to get the unique Swarovski colours that I use? I hope to get these on my web site for ordering sometime this spring, but in the meantime, if you are outside of Canada, I suggest www.whimbeads.com or www.beyondbeadery.com for a wide selection of special coatings in Swarovski beads.Tell them I sent you over!

New pattern ready! I am working on a series of beginner projects, here's a simple design you will love! Pattern available from my web site soon from http://www.buythekit.com/

I was working on some tiny beads that would fit on the cable (pandora) style bracelets, and found theyalso made a cute pendant! Its just a piece of softflex wire through the drop, up through the beaded beads and through the bail, closed with a crimp and crimp cover.
