For a while now, I've been wanting to start working with seed beads again. I used to do quite a lot of bead weaving, but in recent years, that activity hasn't had much appeal. Suddenly, the desire came back!
I signed up for a beaded cabochon class at the Alaska Bead Company and made a wonderful brooch. I have a bunch of these gorgeous labradorite cabochons and selected one to work with in class. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.
Even though I somehow got the pin back finding on crooked, it won't matter once it's pinned on.
Another seed bead project involves a bracelet pattern a bought at one of the Tucson bead shows from June Wiseman of Tapestry Beads. The bracelet is called Ebb and Flow and it's the perfect name for it! The pattern was extremely well written and very easy to follow. The resulting bracelet is fabulous, if I must say so myself! Even the toggle clasp was easy, which surprised me.
I chose some metallic and metallic looking beads for this bracelet. I think it will go with just about anything I wear.
I liked the pattern so much that I immediately made another one in blues.
What seed bead projects should I tackle next?
