Scrumptious Scallops...


This is Carolyn Cave's 'Scrumptious Scallops' Necklace. It was in Bead & Button magazine (June 2014).




I beaded it with blue and black and silver, but don't like the result. Carolyn used off-white to brown beads (see below), which is just beautiful.



I can't find a website for her but you can find her Lady Beadle Designs on Facebook...




One beautiful piece after another...

Is Helena Tang-Lim's bead work. This is her 'My Rather Large Cocktail Ring' which is sold on her website in kit or as a tutorial download (printable copy). I don't really like the colors I selected to bead this, but I wanted to make it using whatever beads I had at the time. It's a very cool ring, and easy and fast to make. I love how she designed the bands on the side using the Superduo beads.



Her website is at http://www.manek-manek.com/. Manek-Manek means beads in the Malay language. Below is one of her beautiful pieces, there are soooo many.


And below is probably her most exquisite piece, The Phoenix Collar...



Love these Swing-Time Earrings...

designed by Christina Neit and in Beadwork Magazine (Aug/Sep 2014).  I couldn't wait to make them, and then kinda went overboard. But they will make great gifts. Who wouldn't love them? And they are easy to make.



She creates beautiful and original beadwork...http://goodquillhunting.com/

Below is a piece from her website is this gorgeous Aurora Cuff...


I LOVE THIS!!!
