This is a stunning yet simple design, which encases a 14mm Rivoli crystal inside a cage made of #5 and #3 bugle beads, 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), and 15/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead for the jump ring to go through). I probably made 10 different versions of this concept before arriving at the right geometry, that would hold the rivoli in place securely, and keep the cage from moving/skewing too much at the joints. All bugle beads used (#5 and #3) are from Hobby Lobby. The metalic TOHO beads are from FireMountan Gems (Permafinish galvanized, to resist tarnishing). The accent color TOHO beads are from Michaels (matte black for the purple/silver piece, silver-lined aqua for the aqua/silver piece, and clear rose peach for the peach/gold piece). Finally, the 14mm Rivoli crystals are from FireMountan Gems. The thing I like best about this particular pattern is how relatively fast they are to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This pendant pattern requires five 6x8mm rondelle crystals, 11/0 seed beads, and a bail or jump ring. You can use either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/silver pieces) or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the black hematite pieces), but there is a slight difference noted in the pattern for each (in blue text, at steps 3 and 5). I used 6 lb Fireline, which seemed to work well to sufficiently “stiffen” the piece at the last step. There is also an “Earring Variation” included in the pattern that instructs how to modify the pattern to make a smaller version of the piece using 5x6mm rondelle crystals instead (still with 11/0 seed beads). An example of the earrings is shown with the light blue piece below. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
For all pieces, I used faceted rondelle crystals from Michael’s. For the gold and silver pieces, I used Galvanized Permafinish TOHO 11/0 seed beads (aluminum and starlight) from Firemountain Gems. I like using these because they don’t tarnish over time. (A sample of the earring variation is shown in the light blue and silver piece below). For the black pieces, I used smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads.

This is an earring design to coordinate with the Madelyn Necklace in my last post. Each earring requires 11/0 seed beads, 7 Superduos, a 4mm and a 6mm pearl or crystal, and a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead for the jump ring to go through at the top. Like the necklace, this pattern works equally well with either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/white/pink piece), or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the copper or grey/blue pieces). I used 6-lb FireLine as my beading thread, as always. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my latest design, which requires Superduos, 4mm and 6mm pearls or crystals, and 11/0 seed beads. The pattern diagram shows how the necklace is made in 4 rows, back and forth (the 2nd and 3rd rows being quicker than the first and last). The great thing about this pattern is that it works equally well with either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/white/pink piece), or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the grey/blue piece). This pattern produces a curve that works best for shorter necklaces (15 – 20 inches), but probably not much longer than that. What I love best about this design are the lacy curves, which are not always easily achieved with netting techniques. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern. (I plan to post a pattern for matching earrings in my next post). Have fun experimenting with different colors!
The materials used for the white/pink/gold piece were white Superduos, 4mm and 6mm Light Coral Czech Glass Pearls (from Jill Wiseman Designs), and gold TOHO 11.0 seed beads.
The materials used for the blue/grey piece were crystal blue luster Superduos, 4mm and 6mm bicone AB blue crystals, and black hematite 11/0 Czech seed beads.

The only materials required for this bracelet are 11/0 seed beads, small or medium drilled chips, and a lobster claw clasp. I found it is good to use 2 colors of seed beads, one for the main bracelet netting, and one that is the same color as the chips (or clear). In the green gold piece, I had a smaller lobster claw clasp, so I adjusted the pattern slightly to make the other end with a 6/0 bead in the middle to put a jump ring through for the lobster claw clasp to connect to. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

My apologies for erroneous e-mails sent from my website recently. I had been hacked. I believe the problem is resolved, but there may be a few already-queued e-mails I couldn’t stop from going out before this post notification – kindly ignore those. On a more positive note, here is an earring design to coordinate with my previous Chip Fringe Necklace design. This pattern also features beautiful bugle fringes with coraled ends, hanging off a superduo beaded chain connected into a small circle. It was a bit tricky to convey this 3-D pattern in a 2-D diagram, but I tried my best – I hope it is clear enough to follow. Below were the materials I used. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my latest design: a V-shape necklace featuring beautiful bugle fringes with coraled ends, hanging off a superduo beaded chain. The use of natural stone drilled chips (or any drilled chips with some color variation) gives an organic feel to this necklace. It was fun to experiment with different color combinations, and I love how all of them turned out! The pattern requires twin or superduo beads, 11/0 seed beads (1 or 2 colors), bugle beads (any size), and small to medium drilled chips. The last photo with the blue lapis chips shows a variation where I added half the fringe (alternating from every other twin bead instead of every twin bead) with 4 – 5 chips in the coral end instead of 2. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Here is an earring pattern that coordinates nicely with the Laguna Necklace from my last post. Same as the necklace, this pattern requires 11/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top of each earring for connecting a jump ring), Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of each earring. The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece). I found this design works wonderfully in a variety of color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my latest design, featuring a diamond shaped pendant on an embellished Superduo chain. The pattern requires 11/0 seed beads, Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of the pendant. The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece). I really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations in this design, and was especially happy with how well the light-aqua silver-lined seed beads complimented the black hematite Superduos. I’ve tried black hematite with different colors in the past, but this is by far my favorite compliment to black hematite yet. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is an earring pattern that coordinates with the Lorraine Necklace design in my last post. Like the necklace, it also requires 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls or crystals, 6mm & 8mm pearls (or round beads), and Superduo or twin beads. A 6/0 or 8/0 bead is used at the top to attach the earring to an ear hook or clip with a jump ring. If you choose to use 4mm crystals that are not bicone (i.e. like the black/gold piece below, where the crystals are more oval), a slight adjustment to the pattern is needed. If using oval crystals, then at steps 5 and 6 where you see 2 seed beads in a row, use only one. Below the picture is a list of materials I used in the three pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
FREE beading pattern: Lorraine Earrings
| 11/0 seed beads | 4mm beads/crystals | 6mm/8mm beads | Superduos or twins |
| Dyna-Mites: silver-lined light peach translucent | Light pink AB bicone crystals | Off-white pearls | Clear AB Superduo beads |
| Dyna-Mites: silver-lined translucent rainbow gold | Black AB round crystals | Glossy black round beads | Matte gold Superduo beads |
| TOHO silver (galvanized aluminum) | Dark blue pearls | Dark blue pearls | Half-silver/half-clear Superduo beads |

My apologies to those of you on the e-mail list who may have received multiple e-mails of my last post. There was a server migration in December which caused a glitch in the e-mail mechanism, which I believe has now been fixed.
This is my latest necklace design, entitled Lorraine Necklace. It requires 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls or crystals, 6mm & 8mm pearls (or round beads), and Superduo or twin beads. If you choose to use 4mm crystals that are not bicone (i.e. like the black/gold piece below, where the crystals are more oval), a slight adjustment to the pattern is needed. If using oval crystals, then at steps 16 and 17 where you see 2 seed beads in a row, use only one. Below the picture is a list of materials I used in the three pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my first design using Honeycomb (2-hole hexagon) beads! The pattern works equally well with Silky (2-hole diamond-shaped beads, shown in the red and black pieces) instead of Honeycomb beads (shown in the green and purple pieces). The pattern employs a simple netting technique with some accents, and requires 6mm 2-hole Honeycomb or Silky beads, 11/0 seed beads (1 – 4 colors), and 4mm round crystals (optional). The red and light gold piece below shows how the design looks when 11/0 seed beads are used in place of the 4mm round crystals around the edge. The purple/silver and green/gold examples use 4 colors of seed beads: one accent color matching the Honeycomb beads, plus 3 different colors, dark-to-light, to create a gradient in the netting. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
