Daisy Beaders Day - Netted Cabouchons

This was SO easy to do and looked really different depending on which cabouchon was used. There were some fantastic finished pieces on the day, including my friend's black onyx and gunmetal bead mix. I used a small labradorite stone and moss/black crystal seed beads. The larger beads around the edge are 'Black Diamond' Swarovski crystals. It was hard to capture the utter beauty of the finished stone on the camera (blooming Winter light!) but I hope you can see that it is stunning. I was really pleased with the finished article and am now considering whether to make it into a brooch or necklace.

Another make...

Onyx and Haematite Ear-Rings

Not good photos, but you should get the idea! The smaller ones are very simple and the long ones are very glam!

EDIT 16/08/08: I have improved the photos!

Different colour scheme to usual

I fell in love with this banded agate pendant and had to have it! So, I bought mother of pearl, onyx, haematite and freshwater pearls to go with it. I am really pleased with it. I am possibly going to change the bit that the pendant hangs from as I am not 100% satisfied that it is totally secure. I might give square stitch a go to make one!
