Winter Flame Earrings or Pendant
Class Length: 3 hours
Learn to make these flame shaped designs capturing the warmth of and beauty of the heart of
a candle flame. Stitched using semi-freeform peyote working loosely off a core design.
I developed this design during a rare three-day snowstorm, alternately calling them Winter Flame or
FlameHearts because the color sequence called to mind the heart of the flame and the larger design (like
the pendant), the more heart shaped it becomes.
Use this pattern to create a pendant, pair of earrings, or components for a larger design.
Skills and Skill Levels required for class
Suitable for all levels. Some experience working with seed beads helpful.
