I tried out the Russian leaf earrings in the latest Beadwork. I was wearing this bracelet around the house and remembered that I bought a few extra 6mm crystals when I made it.
Medina Bird
I'm not much of a crystal girl, but I do like a little sparkle here and there. I started stitching with delicas left from the Medina Bird, but I used deep purple thread because I wanted to give the pale, pale 4mm bicones a little more color. For some reason I was a little surprised when I came up with peacock feathers. I mean, I saw the pic in the magazine - what did I expect? Little may you know, but I'm a big fan of peacocks. One of the highlights of my day is driving by the farm that has dozens of the birds and seeing them roosting in the trees and on the roof of the house. When the leaves fall from the pecan trees, I get a great view.

Peacock Paisley
I think I need to make these without the dangly at the bottom
I tried it with Japanese seed beads and no dangle at the bottom
