Sweethearts Bracelet by Juanita Carlos...

This bracelet is stunning! I had to buy the pattern and make one (bottom). This one on top is Juanita's. The colors she chose for hers (top) are the best for this bracelet. There needs to be a contrast to see the hearts. Mine (bottom) not so much. But it's east to make and turns out beautiful. The stitch is a right angle weave with three beads in stead of four.






Dyan Moon Earrings...

I found these adorable earrings while surfing through Pinterest, which I will do for hours. They were created by Svetlana. Her Etsy shop is called Svetlana Gallery Beads, where her tutorial for them can be found...


Below are the ones I just finished, and I love them!!!




Linda Genaw's Peyote Fan Earrings...

I love these earrings by Linda Genaw...


I downloaded her free tutorial for her Peyote Fan Earrings tutorial. I still want to make a flat pair, but I love what I did to this pair. I really tightened each row so they would curl on purpose thinking they wouldn't change that much. But they really did...




Caprice Bracelet...

Seems like everyone has made one of these bracelets except for me, and now I have. If you search for "capricho" or "caprice" on Pinterest and add the word "bracelet" in the search you will see many made by people all over.

It's very easy to make. The base is a basic netting stitch. See the picture below from a Fusion Beads tutorial:
After you make the base you add beads to the inside of each diamond. See sample below from Unicornio Pasion:


The one below is from AMIRkoraliki Jewelry and is the tutorial I used:


Round, diamond, or oval shaped beads work nicely.


It's hard to create a pattern like the two I recently finished below. Even though I counted rows, beads, many times they both still came out wrong (the mistakes are not showing)...



My next will be made with one bead, like the black one above.
