The beads for this were from a pattern I picked up in a bead shop in Salt Lake.  I could not make heads or tails of the pattern. So I used some of the beads and a different pattern that I then modified. Now that I have a better understanding of how these things go together I might go back and try to make it the right way.  If I do I’ll make sure I take photos! (I’ll need them if I ever try to make it again!)

I’m not sure what to do with it although I am leaning towards making it in to a hairpin.

You can find my original post on this necklace here.

I finally finished it!  I’m so proud of myself. This was by far the most complex beading project I have taken on.  I saw the pattern in the December 07/January 08 edition of Beadwork Magazine.

You can find the pattern here for a very reasonable price.

I made some mistakes and at 2 am I decided I could live with them. Ethan told me that I should take the time to fix them so that I could be proud of my finished piece and I am so glad that I took the time to do a few things over.  I love it!

This has been a very busy week for me beading wise. I finished several projects so look for posts over the next several days. I also finished the regal square stitch bracelet!

It feels awesome to be beading again!
