Diagonal Peyote Stitch Bracelet

I got some new delica beads and I had these nice green freshwater pearls..... and I am starting with diagonal peyote stitch....

Diagonal Peyote Stitch Ear rings

These are cute diagonal peyote stitch ear rings with a freshwater pearl. The beads are actually more green looking than in the photos. And the single ear ring and pair are the same ear rings, the photos were taken with different lighting.  The Delica beads actually match the green/blue tint of the pearl.

Learning more about Peyote Stitch

Well, I have decided to work on bead stitching and I am starting with peyote stitch. Of course, I did not do as the book suggested which was a black and white mix of beads. Of course, I had to do a square tetrad of colors in the pastel range.

For My Sister

I found a beautiful necklace in a magazine and I wanted to try and make it for my sister's BIG FIVE Oh birthday!! It took me quite a while to find all the bits and pieces to make it! Luckily I did, and in time. And so that we could be "twins", I made one for myself too!

I made one for each of us....

Daisy Chain Stitch Ring

I really like how his came out. I will be making more variations of this ring. I have done a daisy stitch before, but not as a ring. I used some African beads and made a necklace which you can see in an early entry.
