After long admiring some black-and-white beads from Africa she'd seen at bead shows, Nancy decided to make her own. Her tubular beads are created with brick stitch, then strung with black crow beads on leather cord for a dramatic ethnic necklace.
Required Materials: Delicas, crow beads, beading thread, 30" of black leather cord. See project for complete list.
Tools Needed: Beading needle, scissors. See project for complete list.
Techniques Used: Ladder Stitch, Brick Stitch, Knotting and Macrame
Finished Size: 30"
