folded leaf seed bead earrings

 

I like these folded earrings because they are simple and look awesome. Especially I like the color choice - denim blue and watermelon.  

I attached them to sterling silver lever back earwires. They are so lightweight! 

Thought I need to make new in more colors. 

 

beaded pen wraps / covers - beading patterns

Beaded pen wraps - it's a simple and quick way to make gifts for a family, friends, workmates, even for you for any occasion. Just choose the pattern you like and start the beading. You need only G2 pen by Pilot and a little of Delica seed beads. Look at these fish:

bead crochet necklace - blue snake

Long time I didn't crochet with beads. One day I scrolled Instagram and saw beautiful necklaces and bracelets in bead crochet technique. That what I want to do next! 

 

This pretty necklace is made of the pattern "Blue Snake" by talented artist Sofia Vasileva, which I bought in her Etsy shop. I like how it turned out. I used czech seed beads instead delica. There are colors like deep blue, metallic gold and silver, brass, crystal clear with light blue inside.

 

The necklace is 20.5" (52 cm) long and about 1/3" (9 mm) thick. The photo is not so good, how beautiful the necklace is in real life. I'm really happy with it. 

How it looked in the start on the next picture - crochet hook size 12/6 and bead thread size B.  

Thank you Sofia for your inspiration! I'm ready to crochet a new necklace and bracelet :)

Peyote stitch beaded bracelet cuff Camouflage

 

I've revised and updated the peyote stitch pattern 'Camouflage'. This cuff I made for my teen son. It's 2 drop peyote stitch technique, an easier and quicker version. 

The pattern is listed on my Etsy shop Lariata.etsy.com and available here: Camouflage.

 

peyote stitch beaded pattern - Whale

I'm very excited about this peyote stitch pattern. I want to bead it. Just ordered Delica beads and can't wait to start with it. 

 

peyote stitch alphabet letters A-Z pattern

 

These personalized bracelets I made for nieces. Used Nymo thread and size 11 Toho beads. The girls liked their gifts.  

... and put the bracelets on hands.

I designed a new peyote stitch pattern of letters from A - Z and tested it. Here is another bracelet in progress: 

Used size 11 Delica beads. I prefer Delica beads because all beads are in one size and perfectly fit each other. 

The alphabet letters from A - Z pattern is available in my Etsy shop: Lariata.etsy.com. It is easy to create personalized bracelets. Just arrange the letters in this pattern to create the word or phrase of your choice. 

The PDF file includes all letters from A - Z, a large numbered color graph of pattern, and blank peyote stitch graph pages for arranging letters for your customized project. There are both, even-count and odd-count options.
