New pattern uploaded: Rivoli Heart Pendant

I just uploaded a new pattern to my Web site: Rivoli Heart Pendant, $4, also available at Bead-patterns.com:

This pendant is made by first creating a bezel using the peyote stitch to hold the 12mm rivoli. Next, use netting to add 3mm fire-polished beads and 11/0 seed beads around this rivoli base to form a heart. The pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions.
