Indian Summer Cuff


I am busy with the pattern for
this lovely cuff bracelet.
I had to find some invisble
Toho thread, so the stitching
would not show.
The centre diamond shapes are
actually 3D with gold Czech
crystals. I also used 6mm
Czech pearls.

Shimmering Rose Earrings


These beautiful brick stitch earrings
shimmer and sparkle in two shades
of Delica beads. They would also
look lovely in two shades of purple
with silver.
The pattern can be found here
