I wanted to create a geometric design using tila beads, and after some trial and error, this is the final result I came up with (which I was very happy with). Necklaces below were made with smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads. (Larger TOHO or Japanese 11/0 seed beads might work too, but I haven’t tried it yet). The piece shown below was made with shiny copper 5mm tila beads, 4mm bronze metallic bicones, and iris brown and copper 11/0 seed beads. When I bought the jet black AB tila’s online, I did not know they were only AB on the front; the back was opaque shiny black with no iridescence. So the resulting necklace became reversible by accident (i.e. the photos of the black/blue-AB tilas and the black tilas are actually the same necklace). I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post. Enjoy!

Very nice! Thank you
Really awesome!!!
Beautiful. Do you know if this would look nice as an ornament cover and if so, do you know how to change it for that?
