New Patterns!



I am still stuck on beaded Rivolis! here I did 5 (2 are the same) and strung them together with some wonderful crystals. The spiral rope is a nice finish










The rope on this is stunning! Three sided Right Angle Weave done with 2 sizes of seed beads. The pendant is a crystal donut.













The crystal balls here are dodecahedrons (the diagram shows a thread path that is not the typical weave) and are simply strung together with seed beads and pearls into one long necklace!














This is a netted choker with crystals inset into the netting, then embellished on top with pearls.






Hey everyone! I have some new designs to show you!

I actually had 3 more than this but sent them to a magazine, who have showed interest, so I have to wait until I hear back from them first. (its a good thing/bad thing with magazines, good that they want to publish a project, but bad because customers have to wait till they do!)


Anyhow, here are the new things, patterns available by mail from me, here or you can pay and print yourself from http://www.buythekit.com/

Rivoli Pendants!!




Look What I have done! Beading like mad around those addicting Rivoli stones! I have the shredded fingers and pile of bent needles to prove it!


Patterns available through my store or my web site (to be mailed out)


What can you do with these?


Either use them as pendants, hanging from a ribbon or maybe a beaded rope. Also try hanging a crystal ,or lampwork bead from the rivoli for a double hit. You can work up 5 or 6 of these are join them together for a braclet. Or, hey, just sit and look at them!!


There is no rule that says you have to wear or use everything you make, really!!
