An Old Favourite

While I was photographing my latest work I also re-photo'd this piece which I made a while ago. The centre rope is picot embellished tubular raw and the other ropes are spiral. It also has beaded beads and a peyote stitch cabochon. I used a variety of beads from size 15's to 8mm swarovski pearls. It was fun to make & I really must make another multi-stitch necklace soon.

Friday Favourites

These are my favourite beads that I purchased at the Chepstow Bead fair. They are handmade by Julie from Lush Lampwork. Sorry about the poor photo. I am currently working through loads of ideas in my head to use them, but so far nothing is good enough for these beauties!

Simple Peyote Tube Pendant

Peyote tubes are a great way of using up those little amounts of beads left over in the tube when you have finished a project. I made 5 beads of varying sizes, increasing the length of the strips by 4 beads each time. I then stitched them together and strung them with some freshwater pearls. I couldn't get a great picture of this one though.
