Starcatcher Pendant
Starcatcher Pendant
Catch a shooting star! The Starcatcher pendant features a sleek beaded star stitched with both cubic and prismatic right-angle weave (CRAW and PRAW). The intricate center star uses double prismatic right-angle weave (DPRAW)to bezel sparkly flat back crystals into the center of the pendant. Matching tiny stars trail behind the main pendant, and attach to the pendant with delicate star-shaped beaded chains. This pendant is fully reversible and offers many opportunities for experimenting with a rainbow of seed beads. A simple but functional bail completes the design
This pattern is appropriate for beaders who are already proficient in cubic right-angle weave and who would like the challenge of combining individual CRAW and PRAW units together. Beaders who have stitched the Butterflies, the Snowflake Pendant or the Peace and Double Hearts are in great shape to stitch this design.
