Anyway.....the Huichol net weave continues!!! I haven't gotten tired of it yet.
I am posting a necklace - another one of the teeny-tiny size 15 beads. I think those work best for a necklace or it would be too big and chunky. I also made a bracelet out of colors I saw in a picture on National Geographic picture-of-the-day. Certainly not colors I would have picked out but my eyes sure enjoyed using them to bead with and I think it will look perfect on someone.
I've given up on clasps, just didn't like the time it took to put them on and didn't feel like I got them exactly right. So these will be solid loops from now on. Until I change my mind again.
I am very pleased with this necklace - it came out even better than I thought it would.

I like working with multiple colors in this weave - keeps it from getting boring. I still need to give it attention that I can't weave it on 'auto-pilot' like I do the crocheted pieces.

There will not be very many of the pieces with size 15 beads!
Now the bracelet - size 11's go much more quickly and you can actually see them!


And the Natl Geographic picture that elicted these colors? Here it is.

Happy beading!
