Technique Tuesday!
These beads are extremely simple to make, so they’re a great place to start in learning to weave beaded beads. Start with a 24 inch single strand of Nymo 0 on your needle, and two different colors of seed beads, preferably Delicas or some other cylinder-style of seed beads. I used a dark galvanized amethyst and bright gold to match the Tigerskin (or Wood!) Jasper necklace that I showed you yesterday.In 2-drop peyote, you stitch the same as in regular peyote, except that you pass your thread through 2 beads each time. Check my post on the basics online for instructions if you need to. Here’s the pattern for these little beads:
Who has time for peyote when there’s all this bead embroidery to do???
LOLOLOL!! I like it all
Hi Cyndi,
I love the look of these, especially on the piece you share below. Gorgeous colour combo.
Thanks Heather! Those two colors went so well with the piece of jasper
These are one of those micro projects when you want to handle beads but don’t want to start a big project.
Yup! I need something FAST for the between times
Are you going to do the BJP again?
