Beads r Cool

Using Japanese and Czech glass seed beads and recently antique cooper bronze and brass rondelle crimp beads. I think i have a unique product. I use size 10/0 to 15/0 beads. A necklace may have as few as 2000 beads to 3500 beads depending on the size used and the finished length. The beading technique I mainly use is called tubular ndebele or herringbone. I have also been playing around with tubular peyote which gives a different effect. A necklace may take 7-25 hours or more to complete.

Peyote necklace

I have tried peyote before but never had to much success. A friend said it was due to not enough memory in the beading thread, so just a bit to limp for the job. I used fishiing braid here in 10lb 0.14mm diameter. It is equivalent to Kaygee fine. Anyway it took forever but happy with the result. It goes to show you can use Czech seed beads in 11/0 to do peyote stitch as well.
