A 'pearl' necklace with a bow 🎀

Body of the necklace is a pattern by Sabine Lippert. The bow and the accent colour of the necklace is a pastel rose AB bead - I couldn't find a pattern I liked so I made it in peyote!

Any Sleep Token fans here? I beaded a jacket patch with bead embroidery in anticipation of their new 'Even in Arcadia' album.

I used a mix of the one and two needle methods. About 15-20 hours 🫠 All japanese seed beads / delicas.
