I worked this one with size 15 blue seed beads, size 8 pink lined crystal seed beads and three other colors of size 11 seed beads. I like the way the design works up with the size 15 background, but I have many customers who have a problem working with such small beads, so I decided to make one with size 11 Delicas as the background. The colors in the green one actually go better with my wardrobe.
I haven't decided what kind of clasp I'll put on the blue one yet. I don't have anything on hand so it either has to be a beaded closure, or I'll have to buy an appropriate one. The green one will be tapered on the ends with a magnetic clasp.

Well I haven't posted in a while and Blogger has made improvements to it's platform. I have to learn how to use it all over again. Perhaps my next blog will look a little more professional.
was the hardest stitch I ever learned. I would pick up instructions, pick out beads and sit down to try to bead and it just didn't make sense to me at all. I did this every few months for over a year before I got my Aaah Haaa Moment, it clicked and I've loved peyote ever since.
