Beaded Bead Necklace


My first beaded bead necklace, made by combining 5 beaded beads with various sizes of glass rounds, including silver textured beads, pearls and feature beads.


Very versatile in the silver and pale pink combo, I wear this one a lot. The beaded beads are self-supporting (not). Pattern from Beadwork magazine.

Rollercoaster in blues/greens


Quadratiles 15s and 6s in this effective necklace, one of my favourite to wear ones. Made the matching earrings too. It is a CzechMates pattern, easy to follow, simple stringing pattern repeat but uses 4 needles, each on double threads, so no mistakes allowed!
