The start to a very good year!





These are all variations of the Cubic Right Angle Weave pattern. I have made different accents for each necklace. They are all made with size 8 seed beads and have Swarovski crystal elements.

These are earrings I made to look like slides. The top picture is Delica seed beads woven in a peyote stitch to mimic Astrocytes in the brain. The bottom picture mimics Jones light green stain on Kidney. These are both original patterns by designer Mequita Praet.
