Peyote stitch pen pattern 3

This was the first tubular peyote stitch pen that I ever made. It uses 11 different colours going in a spiral direction. The reason it uses 11 different colours is that there is 22 beads that go around the pen. So if I want that patterns to make the spiral pattern(e.g. make sure the lines meet up) I can only use 11 or 2 colours. Hope that makes sense.

Here it is:

Beaded Beads

Using the peyote stitch I also like to make beads. I do a very small flat peyote stitch and sew the two ends together to make a bead. The beads below are make with miyuki beads for them because they give a more even result, but you could use any type of small seed bead. They are 6x6 beads. They are great for making braclets and necklaces.

Here are some I have made:

Last year I mentioned my love for Swarovski crystal elements. In the past year I have made two masquerade masks using them. They ar every special to me and I love looking at them because they are so pretty. I had previously made masqurade masks, but not using the crystals.

Here they are:



I hope you like them!!

This pattern is alot for complicated then the previous one I showed. It looks really good in red/orange/yellow, but I gave that one away and a pressent.

This picture here is of a design I have made. Its a very simple pattern and easy to follow. Hopefully soon I will be able to post picture of the patterns to help people to make them. If I haven't mentioned it before I use a Bic round stick pen, beading needle, all purpose gutermann thread, and miyuki size 11 seed beads.

And here is a close up of the pattern, to give you a better look at the pattern:
