Forbidden Garden Green Necklace

This necklace was made with AB green/pink delica seed beads in 8 round tubular herringbone stitch. It appears similar to a lariat style necklace though the neck opening is reinforced and fixed at 21 inches to better support the delicate lampwork glass snake. The necklace is accented with pink and bluegreen czech glass leaves and flowers. The tassles at each end are wrapped with a square stitch border.

Adding Texture To Peyote Stitches

One easy way to add interest and a little texture/depth to peyote stitch can be accomplished by using different size seed beads in the work.  This tubular peyote stitch necklace was made with even count rows starting with 10 beads alternating between no.11 size seed beads and no. 8 seed beads with each "step up".  I used no. 11 silk finish beads to add extra sparkle.  The first and last row was made with a complete row of 10 size no. 11 beads.  Additional fringe work was added around the closure and main sections leading into the glass lampwork focal bead.
