I’ve been having a lot of fun with fall colors lately. <3

This started off as Isabella Lam’s ‘Coveted Collar’ design, but I was severely short on a number of the varieties of bead called for and did not feel like waiting to get to the store for more and/or waiting for a mail delivery, so I started modifying the pattern down to something a lot smaller. Threw in some extra crystal embellishments on the bottom in the meantime. I plan on doing another one like this fairly soon, in blues; I may actually do the full collar pattern instead. We’ll see.

Bracelet. The original plan had been to make Isabella Lam’s Starlight bracelet, but upon looking at the first two rivolis linked together, I realized that the central core of the otherwise extremely intricate and fancy bracelet was really all I needed. I think it worked out fairly well.

For one of my niblings. The pattern was in the most recent issue of Bead and Button Magazine. Preciosa and Miyuki seed beads, SuperDuos, Preciosa bicones, and a Swarovski crystal in the middle. The chains are some Chinese company’s that I got out of a catalog.

Playing around a little! Metallic olive green Superduos, silver-lined lime green delicas and gold-lined 15/0 seed beads. I’m not sure what this stitch is--I was just messing around.
