“Sun & Sand” Necklace & Bracelet Set
I purchased this stone donut at a local rock & gem show; the seller said it was sunstone and my rock identifier app says calcite or sunstone. I think it looks more like sunstone in my opinion 😊 I loved how the color harmonized with the topaz luster bead mix and gold beads.
This set was my introduction to peyote stitch in general, specifically tubular peyote stitch and the peyote warped square. I needed ideas on how to use the donut and, through Pinterest, found out about these warped squares. There’s actually a LOT you can do with these warped squares, and lots of tutorials out there on how to make them. I used a size 11 Czech seed bead mix and Fireline in Crystal for these pieces.
If you are interested in making a peyote warped square OR tubular peyote stitch, you can find tutorials all over the internet.
Here is a link to a Youtube video from Crystal Star Gems Beading Tutorials which I think explains the process clearly and precisely.
Here are a couple of tubular peyote tutorials that use big pony beads so it’s easy to see:
