Mystic Seas Necklace
~ Workshop Information ~
Create an otherworldly necklace full of sparkle. The Mystic Seas necklace evokes a fantasy world flowing with magic and wonder. Three gorgeous kaleidoscope glass stones form the focal of this piece, which is surrounded with assorted crystals and vibrant crystal pearls. This piece packs a ton of detail into a streamlined amount of stitching; you’ll use double right-angle weave (DRAW) to bezel and enhance the sparkle of the focals and crystals, and you’ll stitch several crystal pearl components to bring a burst of vivid color to the work. Two-hole beads form the backbone of the matching beaded rope, and you’ll finish the necklace with a custom double toggle clasp.
Stitch this statement necklace as-is, or attach the components together using your own creative arrangement. You can also incorporate these components into a bracelet, pendant, or earrings.
This project is suitable for beaders who have either experience with (or enthusiastic curiosity about) the RAW family of stitches, specifically MRAW, CRAW, and DRAW. During class we will go over several prerecorded beading demonstrations that show all the tricky steps, and you will obtain permanent access to these recordings after class.
Prerequisites: Students should have experience with RAW.
