Montana Blue & Gold Starburst Set

Remember those Montana Blue pieces from before? I still had a surplus of those beads in my stash! This time, though, I used the beads with the Gold Luster coating, which is really beautiful. I did not use a pattern for these, but I did use circular peyote to make the starbursts. The centerpieces are yellow/gold rivolis encased in beads. Rivolis are like large rhinestones with a pointed, domed front – they may or may not have holes drilled through, and the back is often pointed, but may be flat.

My (very long) to-do list includes writing up a pattern for this 😊

Stitched with 12mm glass rivolis, size 11 Czech glass seed beads in Montana Blue Gold Luster and Galvanized Gold, 4mm bicones, 3.4 mm Miyuki drop beads, Fireline.

Pattern: circular peyote, RAW, and netting stitch.
