Fun little "spikey" earring design. Thanks, Allie, for sharing this lovely project with us, and for also giving me a close-up look at an 8/0 delica bead. I guess I really didn't realize how big these beads really were until I saw them right next to the 11/0s.
Love the idea of using a discduo for brick stitch and decorating the bicones. My favorite thing to make is brick stitch around a form. I've never actually used a bead, but know how to. Will definitely give this a shot!
beautiful! I would live to make these but truthfully , I kind of want to start with the Potomac bead weaving starter kit... last time I checked you were all out of stock I was wondering when you might have them back in stock? I wanna buy mine at the beginning of the month when I get paid, if possible 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I do a lot of circular brick stitch and you can use basically anything. Delica, regular seed beads, I've used true2s which are basically 2mm faceted beads. I've seen it with cubes. Obviously there's the bicone edge... I have some half tilas and have seen a video of someone doing it with them. So even two holes can work. Haven't tried it myself but I want to (why I have the half tilas in my stash!) Maybe just go with something similar in size to an 8/0 if you want that kind of look?

I like to add 3mm bicones on brick stitch around a form. It looks like a sun. I use the 12mm quick links most often.

Beautiful! How much beads you use in the center?
There are 13 smaller seed beads and 10 bigger seed beads used in the middle.
