Lightning Bolt Necklace

I am one of those beadweavers who loves a project that requires hours of beading. Why? Because I simply like the process of taking one bead at a time and creating a beautiful design.

My best friend, Mary, needed donations for a fundraiser for a family member who requires much support with medical bills, so it was the perfect opportunity to make something special that might also bring in some money for the great cause.

This is a flame stitch which is a 2 drop peyote stitch with 4 different turns. It's more difficult to watch "Dancing with the Stars" while making this! If I look up, I lose my place, so I work on it little bits at a time. But, I love the end result.
