| The beaded bead (Tila 3-D Beaded Bead) in both these earrings is a pattern designed by Kim Spencer for CisrayDesigns, taught by Sandy and Eileen at Bead Street . I say Sandy and Eileen because it was a joint effort. This particular pattern was difficult for any of us to follow and Sandy and Eileen put it all into perspective for us. There were two beaded beads and these earrings show the first bead. It became easier after we learned a few quick tricks. The other one... well... I made one, and have not ventured to make another just yet. I'll post once I do, as it is equally as fun and much more of the 3-D! |

| These turned out particularly gorgeous... |

| And, arent these colors gorgeous together? 8mm fire polish, silver spacers, wood oblongs, wood multi angle cut spacers and lots of needle pricks in my fingers later... I wanted to toss this bracelet across the room a couple of times. The thread I chose was thicker than I thought, and it did not want to go through most of the beads twice, so I struggled each time. Ahhh, at least the end result was worth the swearing, sore fingers and bleeding... :) I learned to make my first leather wrap bracelet at where else? Bead Street of course! |
