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.
This is a variation on the diamond back pattern I did earlier. Has worked out into a nice piece. More 11/0 Czech seed beads in Jet Matte Black, Rootbeer and Light Topaz. Will attempt another with a similar style soon but incorporate a Dark Topaz which is a dark brown.
