Technique Tuesday!

I love doing bead embroidery, but it’s always somewhat frustrating to realize that I can’t really share detailed tutorials with you for how to make them. In the materials list below, I listed all the types of beads that I used, but I didn’t list how many. It’s absolutely impossible to guess how many anyone else will need since it depends upon your personal aesthetic and the size of your central pendant. So, pick your piece of paua, and let’s get going!

Beautiful necklace in my favourite colour combination of lavender and turquoise. The paua shell and the pearls play off each other perfectly. Great tutorial on the bead embroidery, too. Thank you for both.
the central pendant here is just beautiful! where can I get one of those?
What a beautiful necklace! You are so talented!
This is such a wonderful tutorial! I just love the idea of all those beads on the beautiful leather like that. Great job!
