May's Garden Necklace
A spring garden bursting
with color after a long winter of waiting for the earth's renewal!
This wonderfully colorful necklace is dripping with flowers
and semiprecious stone accents guaranteed to lift your spirits!
A Right Angle Weave base that is as lush as a soft drape of
fabric will be "planted" with a riot of colorful beaded flowers
you will create. Add glass leaves, flowers and semiprecious
stone accents to give the necklace fullness and you have a rich
beautiful garden to treasure.

An undulating ridge
of colors made with Brick Stitch rises up from a tubular Peyote
cuff creating an Aurora Borealis effect. I like to wear multiples
of this cuff to create a wonderful multi layer look.
A great class for beaders with basic knowledge of Peyote Stitch
and Brick Stitches.
Skill Level: Intermediate

Understated Elegance
is how I describe this bracelet. Choose faceted Delica beads

wrist belt. Using Peyote Stitch and Right Angle Weave, you will
create a lovely accessory that can take your look from day to
night. Fabulous!

This project was originated

enormously in popularity! This wonderful cuff is so versatile.
You will learn the Freeform Sculptural Peyote stitch and its
many variations while creating a unique wearable art piece.
The colors and bead size combinations are totally up to you!
Your creative spirit will be freed to play and the result will
be great fun!
