This pattern is so lovely and it really makes you think outside the box. Refreshing! It has such an antique look victorian style. Thank you for sharing ❤
Your teaching method is superior.I have wanted to get back into beading and you have inspired me to give this a try, My beads are languishing in my beading corner for a very long time. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. What do you do with the tail? and what chain do you use for the hanging element? Please let me know...I have a hard time finding the right chain to link....again thanks a lot.
Why not? You will know right away when you start brick stitching them in whether they will fit in or not. And you can always adjust the spacing to create a slightly different shape if needed. Good luck!
Hi Leslie!! I made one of your earrings last night and I love it! Could you tell me where do I find those little chain link pieces that you add at the end to attach to the earring component? I’ve been looking and can’t find them. Thank you! Joyfully, Valerie
I don't have a specific size, and actually use 3-4 different ones--usually buy it in NY when I am there. I do prefer a rolo chain, however. It does make a professional finish.
These are beautiful! Will try making it. I have lots of rice beads but don't know what to do with them. I'm curious about the wire/thread you use though. What are the options to use as "thread"?
I have used various threads for this, but experience shows that you want to keep things fairly stiff so the piece doesn't bend in your hand. A monofilament is probably best, but a doubled thread will also work.
You can use seed beads for sure! I'm not sure how many it will take to go around an 8mm bead--you will just have to see and divide the bicones up from there. Good luck!
