A beading pattern/ beading tutorial that is perfect for the following:
Do you have lots of focals you're desperate to use?
Do you love bezelling but hate maths?
Do you want to use some of your ever-increasing stash of feature beads?
Would you love to make versatile pieces which can be pendants or brooches? (or even earrings or added to bracelets...)
Do you have a craving to add some pizzazz to your bezels without resorting to tearing your hair out?
If the answer to any of these questions if 'Yes' then these instructions are for you!
Learn how to bezel all different sizes of round and oval focal pieces whilst at the same time incorporating feature beads such as drops, daggers, Rizos, rondelles and more. The variations shown here use 14mm rivolis, 30mm flatback crystals and 27mm round crystals. I also used fabulous colourful glass eyes I purchased from a shop right here on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/artistJP
This 9-page instant download pattern has text, diagrams and photos. All of my tutorials contain full instructions and tips as well as check lists for all tools, materials and techniques needed to help you shop and plan.
Materials:
- Focal of choice
- Size 11 cylinder beads such as Aikos or Delicas
- Size 15 seed beads
- Feature beads such as Rizos, drops, daggers...
These instructions use peyote stitch and are more suitable for someone familiar with the stitch.
