| Pictured in previous Bead & Button magazine. My Mother made one of these for me years ago and I recently made one myself. I am very happy with the outcome. This ornament cover is intricately hand beaded using hundreds of beads then placed over a 2 5/8" blue metallic ball ornament. I stitched five sections in ladder blue Swarovski 4mm crystal. In between the sections I "draped" strands of 11/0 matte blue iris seed beads and 15/0 silver & charcoal metallic seed beads. The tiny metallic beads really give this ornament sparkle! |

| My original design and these are my sweet "trick or treat" bats. I made the bats using black and grey bugle beads (dimensions: 0.25-0.5mm) by using peyote and herringbone technique. The necklace itself is constructed on a black scarf. The beaded cord on the right side was made with mat and shiny black seed beads (dimensions: 0.6-0.11 mm) using tubular peyote technique. The natural stone in the middle is an Onyx, ornamented with black seed beads (dimensions: 0.6 mm) using embroidery technique. Left side of the necklace designed freely by using mat and shiny red bugles using the peyote and fringe techniques. Moreover in this pattern Swarovski crystal drops are used. |
