| This is an original pattern. I haven't played around much with this one. It is pretty all by itself as is.. |
| This one was a left over beads idea. I'm all out of the black hearts so this is an original pattern I did up on my own.Unfortunately unless I come across more of these black beads this will be the only set made. |
| As always I feel its only right to give credit to those who help with ideas or inspire them. I give this credit to Bette Kelley who does beautiful bead work herself. This necklace idea came from Bette's Meroe necklace. I like mixin my beads up a bit and this gave me the chance to do just that. Bette's web address is : www.phoerising.com/index.htm |
| In teaching myself new bead stitches, this one was to be a spiral, but using two different beads (bugels & seed) it didn't quite come out like it should of, instead it gave a different design that I continued with and came out with this brain storm. The bugle beads are a med. dark crimson color which makes the whole necklace have a look of elegance. |

| This one is originally called desert sands. I changed the colors to white & crystal as I thought it would make a nice wedding necklace. I ran into a problem with this one only because of the beads being to big for this particular pattern. I used 8/0 beads which makes it to big and doesn't sit rite. It needs to be done with 11/0 beads. This is one of those trial n error ideas! |

| The next couple pages are of my girls and their ideas with beading. Lynn-Ann who is into the beads the most has been busy as of late whipping up all kinds of earrings of different sytles. From funky to eleagant she has quite an imagination which I have always felt is the key to original and unique handcrafts of all sorts. |
