So many beads, so little time, but this pastime keeps me busy as a bee...and happy doing it...

Edelweiss
This pattern is from Ilde, her blog is Les Tresors d'Ilde. It is called Edelweiss, and is available for purchase download. She also has several nice free patterns on the site. http://www.lestresorsdildes.com/
The stages involved are first, a bezelled 14mm rivoli, then the front petals, then the back petals. It is a great workout on how to do odd count peyote with decreases. It is really lovely, and being aged right now while I figure out a chain.
There are samples of this done on Ile aux Perles, and all seem to use 2 colours. I would like to try a version with additional colours next.
I LOVE THIS MODEL. I made one too!!! Your's is so pretty in blue.
ReplyDeleteEn français : J'adore ce modèle. J'en ai aussi fait un. Le tien est si mignon en bleu.
