I stayed up all night making this incredible necklace. It was a project out of one of the Bead and Button magazines. It’s a nice pattern because, really, you can stop at any point at the end of any row. And it would look great anyway.

Making this, don’t pull too hard. Looser weave makes the necklace drape better.

My high-fashion model didn’t show up. Had to make do with a dog of a stand-in…
Ella, weary of displaying Peruvian Beaded Lace NecklaceMaybe there’s a cat in the tree?..
Actually, I would like to make it again, this time 1/3 its original width. Then I could wear it too.
A very popular pattern. Little funky if you are a beginner, but the effort pays off every time. It’s a classic. Chances are you’ve done it. If you haven’t, you have to.
This necklace was a class I took from Susie at the Shepherdess in San Diego as I was just starting to bead. Alas, the lovely Shepherdess closed, but I still have the beading friends I met there.
