I absolutely love this new Lotus Lace earring design.  It requires 11/0 seed beads, 2x5mm 2-hole Superduo or twin beads, and 6mm pearls or round beads.  This pattern also includes a “shorter variation” (shown in the light blue, white, and silver earrings below) as an alternative to the longer version.  This pattern works equally well with either smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, or with larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads, and works with either Superduo or twin beads.
Here is a list of materials used in the various color combinations I experimented with:
11/0 seed beads | Superduos or twins | 6mm round beads |
Czech gold | Apollo Gold Superduos | Czech druks, opaque satin copper |
Czech silver | White Luster twins | green adventurine (natural stone) |
TOHO nickel | Silver Superduos | Light violet Pearls |
Delica nickel | Silver Superduos | Dark Iris Blue Druks |
Czech silver | Light Blue Luster Superduos | Ivory Pearls |
TOHO Bronze | Black Superduos | Black Druks |
TOHO Bronze | Transparent Amethyst Luster Superduos | Transparent Amethyst Luster Druks |
