I love the name of this piece. What can you do with all the extra beads sitting around in your bead room? Glue them into a pendant! I love how you can use art gel to let your imagination run wild and create one-of-a-kind pendants. All the different colors in the seed bead broom mix work perfectly with the large turquoise nuggets resulting in a necklace you can wear with just about anything. The natural, chunky shape of the turquoise and the overflow of seed beads in the pendant give this piece so much interesting depth and texture. Good job Susie Q!
2. Falling For Copper Necklace
by Shanna Steele, www.AuntiesBeads.com Designer
To me this piece just looks impressive, with all the intricate wire wrapping involved. I think copper and olivine give this necklace a very earth tone. The Swarovski Crystal, 4mm Bicone, Bag of 48, Autumn Mix would be beautiful on this necklace as well. The crystals look very natural flowing over the copper leafand the addition of small sections of crystal between the copper chains surprises the eye in a very good way. Keep it up Shanna!
3. A Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On Necklace
by Karla Schafer, www.AuntiesBeads.com Designer
This necklace intrigues me because it’s just something I never would have thought of. The dangling chain creates a beautiful, almost chaotic look that keeps your attention. The best part about this design is you can change up the beads and the chain that you use and create many gorgeous pieces from this one pattern. Karla’s one talented lady!

I feel like I’m on vacation when I look at this necklace. I love the beach and the whites, beiges and browns in this piece feel like they were made to be by the sand. I like how long this necklace is and I think using two 2-strand separators adds some character and keeps the piece from being boring. To me there’s nothing like hanging a little charm from the back of your necklace to give it a polished look!

Admittedly, I’m no cowgirl. But this necklace is just too cool! All of the different colors and shapes and metals and crystals.. there is something to be said for hodge-podge beading. This is the perfect piece to spice up a solid colored tee. The best part is, it’s just straight beading, so anyone can make it!
