The Four of Spades beaded bead is suitable for advanced beaders. It resembles a flower bud with four spade motifs pointing towards each of the two holes of the beaded bead.

The earrings use a variation on the Double Outline Stitch, which we first developed in our pattern for the Double Daisy Chain. The Double Outline Stitch makes these earrings stiff enough to hold their shape, rather than flexible, as flat beadwork tends to be. The pattern has 11 pages of instructions, including 28 full color illustrations and photographs. We have patterns available for $36, and kits for a pair of earrings in Blue or Summer Rain for $44. Ear wires are gold filled or sterling silver; styles may vary.	Blue	Summer Rain

Pink muscavite	The Fairy Chrysalis is an advanced project. The rich organic form of the Fairy Chrysalis reminds us of a magical cocoon from which a winged fairy or a beautiful butterfly could emerge. Or perhaps the chrysalis could be an ancient seed pod lost within an enchanted rainforest.  In these instructions, we will show you how to make a Fairy Chrysalis, a pendant constructed entirely from beads and thread.  The finished pendant shown is 55 mm by 25 mm by 11 mm and was sewn around a 40 mm core bead.
