Some times ago I have made bead woven earrings for my mom. Today I saw similar earrings on a flickr made by gasar. I like the combination of copper and dark blue. The earrings have a dramatic look. Beautiful!

beadwoven rings


What will be happens if I weave two triangles in peyote stitch and then connect them together? May be it will be a rhomb.. and it was, embellished with swarovski crystal. 


Comfortable and lovely ring. Used Toho amethyst seed beads and white hex Delica size 11/o. Cute!


One more ring in other color - peach. Really, these peach beads are transparent yellow and pink lined. 


I will weave them more..

The book includes 25 projects that vary from simplistic to extremely complicated. There is much to be learned from trying out the different techniques. This book is a great addition to my jewelry making library.
