Beadweaving - Choker

Zulu Beadwork

After my first attempt, I was so encouraged by the result so I did a few more pieces.  These were done few years ago and were copied from books except for the last one at the bottom.

This pair of earrings is to match with the green Off Loom Choker below.

Hmmm...it is quite obvious that I am not a creative person.  What a vast difference as compare to the other three designs!  I cannot recall but I might have used peyote stitch here and varied it with different bead size.    

Daisy...daisy...

Lady in Black

This was my first attempt on beading and it was copied from a library book.   It is a Flat Peyote choker (even number).  The color chosen for the daisies is not bright enough so the flowers do not stand out - this is bad.

The seed beads used were of craft quality and I thought it was all right as long as the work is at hobby level and not for sale - until and unless my skill is upgraded where consistency is there. However,  I was so wrong.  Cheap beads give me problem because the size of each bead is not consistent.  Help! I'm stuck with a whole lot of such beads!
