Description A wonderful lady I work with at the library let me borrow some of her bead magazines and books () - here is one of the necklaces I've made based on the patterns. I pretty much stuck to the pattern for this one, though I had to free-form the crystals and inner netting. It's deffinitely not my favorite color choice ever, but I do think it looks nice being worn.
While working on this I needed a centerpiece, so I pulled out my old button collection and put it to a practical use (instead of keeping it shut up in a box). I have multiple glass, metal, and shell buttons, so I found several to use on more of this style necklace.

No, I don't like this color scheme too much... I like gold though. I think the blue clashes. But if other people like it, I'm good!

That's actually just a glass button, I didn't make it... I bought it because it reminded me of seed bead work. I wish I could make them, though!

Very lovely, and I think the color choices are beautiful! Reminds me of an iridescent dragon-fly!

Thank you! I hadn't thought of it that way, but that button does remind me of some of the almost electric-blue dragon-flies I've seen around here

Looks nice, very complimenting colours I see a Peyote stitch and a form of netting stitch too ^_^ Isn't Beadweaving fun 8D *recently started beadweaving too*. I want to mix it with my chainmailling sometime.

Linhorra In reply to arwenpotter [2006-09-01 14:25:01 +0000 UTC]

You're right, it's peyote and netting And yes, I love beadweaving! Good luck with yours and have fun - combining it with chainmailling sounds like a great idea
