Beyond my beading table

For me, one of the best things about creating a bead pattern is seeing what colors and types of beads other beaders use, and what little touches they add to make the design their own. Here are two beautiful examples.

Instead of pearls, designer Debra Wilde used gemstones to bead my Scalloped Pearl Necklace and the results are stunning. You can see more of her creations at her Etsy store—http://www.etsy.com/shop/beadforester:

 


Myra Fierro used segments of my my Tila Bands pattern to highlight this beautiful owl connector. More info about this piece is on her blog and you can find many more creations at her Etsy store, Ramy's Designs—http://www.etsy.com/shop/ramysdesigns:

Beautiful!

Carmel Manley of Australia used my Flower Earrings pattern to make this gorgeous necklace. She will be teaching the design at the Bead Society of Victoria Expo in November. Beautiful, Carmel!
