Dusk is coming... A special Stone Mix from Kate

I just love this simple yet stunning semi precious mix of 6mm rounds, star cuts and a dash of freshwater pearls.

When I design with these beads, I like to let the stones to the taking, so I add a very minimal background- simple pearl knotting or adding a simple 11/0 or 8/0 seed bead, or a Little Shadow bead as spacers. I used this 11/0 in the sample.

Sort in color order for an overall ombre effect, or string in a completely random mix, the choose is yours.

Here are the beads I used in the mix:

6mm Semi Precious Rounds

• Rose Quartz
• Pyrite
• Matte White African Opal
• Silver Crazy Lace Agate
• Matte Wood Opalite
• Yellow Jade
• Matte Pink Crazy Lace
• Matte Porcelain Jasper

Star Cuts

• Sardonyx
• Natural Agate
• Peach Moonstone
• Matte Rhodonite
• Matte Dog Tooth Amethyst

Pearl

• 9mm Bronze Iris

Watch the whole FTF where I work with the mix... Enjoy!
