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.

Antique Style Choker

This is a ndebele necklace done in 11/0 matte black Czech seed beads. Finished off in a fringe of more of the same beads with a focal Czech farfalle (butterfly) or peanut beads. Purchased from Shipwreck beads shhhhhh hehe.
