This was in a 2007 issue of Bead and button, and I wanted to make it, but didn't have the oval crystals. I finally got some, so here it is:
I would say it kind of has a design flaw in that the ends flop around, and I really don't like that. I solved this pretty well by running a stiff wire in the end vines.
It's a little fancy for me, but I'd probably wear it at Christmas. I just liked it and wanted to make it.
That turned out lovely Jerri...I probably have that issue of Bead & Button :-) I feel bad that I have never really made anything from the magazines I have...I think I really need someone to show me in person. Actually, I could probably find something on YouTube now that I'm thinking about it...
Best, Christine
Thanks, Christine!
I love Bead and Button. I keep thinking I would love to get Beadwork, too, but I haven't gotten to all the things I've wanted to try from my B&B's, so I really don't need to subscribe to another magazine!! (I sure love to look at the eye candy though!)
I took a class and learned the raised spiral, and then came home and started trying patterns from B&B, gradually trying harder things. I also found the basic stitches on line and learned brick, peyote, and herrinbone that way.

HI!
That is gorgeous!
How is everyone these days??
I know I've been MIA for a while.... just too much stuff, and not enough time to do it all. :)
