Description I am thinking ahead for Valentine's Day and this is so decadent! Really pretty cherry red glass beads in 6mm rounds are paired with size 11/0 Miyuki chocolate brown delicas in a matte finish. It really looks like chocolate cherries to me yummy!

This stitch is called flat spiral stitch and is not my design. It works up wonderfully quick and I will make more using this design!

It looks the same on both sides and is just lovely and sturdy. Woven with black fireline beadweaving thread.

For sale in my etsy shop!

How can it be so pretty and delicate, yet so sensual at the same time??
That's sure to melt any gal's heart like chocolate.
What a striking piece.... I wish I knew how to do things like this!

Thank you! This is deceptively easy to make. I learned how from a you tube video and just changed the bead types. You can use crystals or pearls also. See? [link]

Well, for me it doesn't look easy per se, but it certainly looks doable. and fun!
The outcome is awesome and it has so many possibilities!
I will definitely have to try this in the future and give this link to my niece, ..she loves working with beads.
Thanks!
