One of the neat booths that was at the Gathering this year and a perennial favorite of mine from Bead and Button is Jane's Fiber and Beads. This year what caught mine and Lillian's eye were these oddly shaped beads that Jane had used on bead crochet necklaces. She made these incredibly long necklaces and added BHB's (Big Holed Beads) to them. Fabulous. And, she always has this great selection of goodies. This is the necklace I've been working on. I want to do two lengths of this crochet because I'd like to have the "fins" all pointing down to the focal bead. Yet to be made - - - - that's all I need - - - - another UFO (unfinished object!).

Beautiful absolutly gorgeous beads
-Katta
Thank You - Katta They have an oddly angled hole in them but once they're strung and crochet is past the first couple of rows it all falls into place. Nice to meet you!
Oh, my heavens! What a gorgeous piece! And the colors just seem to glow w/a smoldering fire within. How clever of you! Do you ever do classes or sell your designs? This is absolutely stunning, and while I aspire to create these kinds of beautiful things, I need more than a picture... thank you for bringing this beauty to the world.
By chance do you know what those beads are called? Its beautiful, by the way.
