I started working with these ugly colored beads a few days ago and I kept ripping apart everything as I didn't like the colors at all. Finally this morning while browsing through an older Bead&Button magazine, I found the weave for a choker, called Potawatomi weave, and it just all clicked. I started it in the morning, then I went with hubby to the beach, and in the afternoon when I came home, I finished it. Now that it's done, I don't find the yellow-petrol color so ugy, it actually starts to grow on me, lol.
And with this, one more done for my challenge! I used the weave from Bead&Button Feb.03

Wow!! I really like chokers but this one is trully impressive, Marika. Beautiful work! Do those beads look like amber? Another one for your victorian-like collection.;-)
Hehe, they sort of look like tiger-eye. I'm getting used to the color and it's quite nice now. I have it on today at work with a yellow blouse, looks really good :)
thanks. I am looking for this pattern and others with this weave. Will go look it up now.
