Ruffles around peyote pendant

 

Increase rounds of peyote to produce a beaded bead with a fun and frilly edge!  This beaded bead can be used in many ways: String it on a wire or a head pin with a loop to wear as a pendant. Or get a little creative with the number of rounds and bead sizes, and you can adapt the instructions to make lively links for a bracelet or a funky pair of earrings.

Into the Blue

The June Design Challenge 

All you have to do for inspiration this month is to turn your eyes skyward. The pale blue of an early summer sky; the midnight blue of midsummer, twinkling with stars. Or imagine a body of deep water: from the depth of the ocean to the surface of a still summer lake, how many shades of blue can you conjure? The June 2018 Challenge continues through June 27!
