Hand made beaded bead using size 11 seed beads.
This was my first attempt at a ladder stitch and I have to say I was very happy with the results.
I love seed beads. Yes it can be tedious work, but I love the variety of colors and sizes. If I can't find a bead in a color that I want, I just break out the old seed bead collection (I have more tubes of beads than I care to admit) and create a beaded bead. The beads can be used in a variety of projects, one example is the earrings above. Just add a head pin, crystal, beaded bead and some chain and you have a simple and lovely pair of earrings. I used size 11, but I have also made some with 8 and they come out just as nice. Or you can wrap them around a solid ring (I used copper) and make a pair of boho earrings. Great if you have just a few left in your tube and don't know what to do with them.
