peyote stitch cell phone strap

It's been awhile since I've beaded. Made this cell phone strap today. Peyote stitch.

Took me awhile. The Nymo thread that I was using got tangled then it was a big knotted mess, so I needed to start over...sigh.

Glad this came out.

peyote stitch flower brooches

This project took awhile to make, maybe 8-10 hours just to make all the petals and leaves. The hardest was making the pink flower petals, using the thinnest needle, the beads would crack at the tip of the petal and I would have to start all over....

Assembling the brooches took another 2 hours. This project is the last in my beads course and I can now get a certificate for it. My next class starts in 2 weeks and I'll be doing projects which review the different stitches that I've learned.

peyote stitch bracelet

This bracelet was very difficult to make especially the pointy ends. I had to re-work one side 6 times before I could finish it.

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.

peyote stitch channel ring

I bought these channel rings online and stitched a ring into the channels using the peyote stitch. My favorite is the white one.
