My 1st peyote cab & multistitch necklace

Just finished this tonight, my 1st attempt at peyoting around a cab, I ripped it to pieces once & swore a little bit but it came out nicely in the end. The neckstrap is made with tubular raw, beaded beads & spiral rope. It's quite an adventurous piece for me & I enjoyed making, I have a few new ideas from it too I think.

Nice necklace, shame about the picture

I have to admit that I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the quality of my pictures. This necklace is very pretty irl & the pic makes it look a bit blah. I guess I need to take some time to really practise & get a decent set up but the free time I have I want to actually bead. Oh well, can't have it both ways. Have a great bank holiday weekend!

The 2 hour bracelet

I have been stuck in a bit of a rut with my seed beads lately, my colour combo for a planned beaded bead necklace was not working for me & the herringbone twist necklace I am making in brown & turquoise is so slow it's sending me to sleep. So last night I pulled out a couple of tubes & decided to make a nice simple spiral bracelet. I used silver-lined crystal 11's & colour lined purple triangles with some easy wrapped beads using swarovski pearls as a base. I am really happy with it, the simple colour combo is very striking and the focal beads add a nice touch I think.
