New pattern uploaded: Tuscan Drop Earrings

I was playing around with my Tuscan Earring design and found that these earrings looked even prettier with a drop. This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for two drop versions: one with pearls in each corner (at right) and another with pearls in the center (at left). I used Swarovski #5500 9x6 pear drops but any drop bead will work.The Tuscan Drop Earrings pattern, $3.25, is available at my website, AroundTheBeadingTable.com and Bead-patterns.com:

New SuperDuo pattern: Athena Bracelet and Earrings

I just uploaded a new pattern to my website: the Athena Bracelet and Earrings, $5.00, also available at Bead-patterns.com:

 

It uses size 11 seed beads, 4mm fire-polished beads and the new two-hole SuperDuo beads that I have fallen in love with. I'm thinking that it may work with other 4mm beads but haven't tried it yet. Please let me know if you do!

New pattern: the Tila SuperDuo Bands

I just uploaded a new pattern to my website: the Twin SuperDuo Bands, $5.00, also available at Bead-patterns.com:

 A trio of bands made from seed beads, Tila beads and SuperDuo beads. The pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for each bracelet and includes a page of three blank charts of three different widths so you can design you own bands. Note: I used SuperDuo beads because they are much more uniform in size and slightly thicker than Twin beads. I did not try these bands using Twin beads but if you do and are successful, please send pictures!
