Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Ethnic


Materials

size 11 delica beads with semi-precious accent beads, nymo, size 13 beading needle

What was your inspiration?

I went to a 2 hour beading taster where lots of aspects of beadwork were being shown and i spent 20 minutes with a lady who showed me basic brick stitch and i was hooked.

What are you most proud of?

Being able to create beautiful jewellery

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

brick stitch beadwork using delica beads is an easy technique which can be learned by anyone, start up costs are quite affordable and there are lots of online suppliers of books and materials which make it accessible for everyone

I love the pattern! I just prefer working with larger beads. I have a magnifier that I use, so I could try some delica beadwork sometime!
