A Bit Of Beadweaving


As of late, I haven't been working with wire or jump rings much. Mainly I've been doing a bit of beadweaving. Here is one of my latest projects. Once it is finished it will be a necklace. I still have a bit of tidying up to do and add a clasp which has been an issue as I'm not quite sure which type would suit it best. Needless to say it is a double spiral stitch using pink and gray seed beads.


It was made with a purpose as I have a dress which has similar colors as well as black and white in it so it is meant to be worn with this particular dress. I have to say that I love spiral ropes whether in beads or jump rings. Both have such a lovely look to them. One day I shall really play around with different sizes and shapes of beads to make this rope. Spiral stitches always look gorgeous with a few Swarovski's thrown in too. I'm hoping to get a nice big shop in for some new jump rings soon. I know I can't be the only on out there that loves to make the odd item to keep all for myself. Share one of your items you made just for you.

  1. It's very pretty. I can't imagine how much work must be involved to make that.
