peyote stitch tube necklace

Today was the last bead stitch class for 2006. I finished most of this project the other day and attached the toggle and bar at class today.





This necklace is made using the peyote stitch. It kind of reminded me of a winding staircase.






All done! Since I'll be going back to Hawaii for a bit, the next class for me will be in April.
