Another design that I really like is Desert Flowers. Check it out on the beadingdaily.com website and look under "free projects".
The natural stones in this necklace are placed on a silk ribbon. The effect is whimsical, yet earthy. I absolutely love this look. The key is to find stones of varying size and shape. I have tried making this necklace with turquoise stones which were all basically the same size and round shape, and the beauty of this design was totally lost.
The other key is to twist the silk ribbon that the stones are placed on.
There are some designs which are so inspiring that they transport me to a different place. This design reminds me both of Santa Fe, New Mexico and of Hawaii- 2 of my favorite places!
