Prism Blossoms Pendant
Prism Blossoms Pendant
Weave a delightful, blooming beaded pendant using a variety of shaped beads, including the pointed Dragon Scale beads! The Prism Blossoms Pendant uses Half Tila beads, bugle beads, and Japanese seed beads to bezel a sparkly rivoli crystal, and to create the foundation for little beaded flowers woven from Dragon Scale beads. A unique combination of the circular peyote stitch and variations on the right angle weave (RAW) and cubic right-angle weave (CRAW), and Prismatic Right-Angle Weave (PRAW)techniques are used to create this pendant. A matching pear-shaped crystal and a simple Half Tila bail complete the design. String the pendant on a simple silk ribbon, or weave a matching beaded chain from additional seed beads, Half Tila beads, and O beads.
