Red Beaded Bead with Fringe

This bead has three internal layers, the inner most is pink and then a second lt. purple layer and an outer most red layer. It is covered in red fringe! Each piece of fringe is topped with a lt. purple bead. I used 11/0s and 8/0s. The fringe is made with 11/0s.

I am going to weave a "chain" from herringbone stitch with 11/0 iris gold Delica beads and put that through the hole to attach the bead to the chain. As soon as I am finished I will upload that photo as well.

Red Beaded Bead, the crochet needle shows the direction of the hole.

You can see the3 layers before I added the fringe 

After adding the fringe, the bead looks like a red snow ball.

Brick Stitch Rocks

Here is something that is not completely finished, but I just had to show it. I found the pattern on the Miyuki Facebook site. The person who uploaded it, did it in 8/0 beads, I think. I did it in 11/0 delicas.

What do you think? What you do is to bring the top two segments together and add an ear ring finding....

Two Peyote Stitch Cuff Bracelet

Boy, did this take a long time to do!. And after doing it, I am not sure I love it. But it was a good experience making this 2 drop peyote stitch bracelet.

This uses the new sharp triangle beads from Miyuki. These may not be in the US yet.

Peyote Stitch Tapered Edge???

How do you make an Edge like this in Peyote Stitch. I know I have to decrease and increase to get an tapered edge,....

I know there is a different stitch on the very outside, but what, I don't know. How to get the peyote to taper?

I have been studying bead stitching for the past few weeks.

I went down to the "Bead Town" in Tokyo, located in Asakusabashi, which is near the "Electric Town" where all the tourists go and Japanese go to buy anything electric. Asakusabashi is just one more stop on the train. There are over 40 shops selling all kinds of beads and semi-precious stones, plastic beads, anything. I went to Miyuki's shop, Bead Factory, and became a member, getting the right to buy beads at 50% off!! All the beads are in big jars and are sold in 8 gram portions.
