Beautiful textures combine in this breathtaking necklace design. Cynthia created a textured foundation for the highly detailed hand-painted focal bead by sliding a seed bead Cellini spiral stitch rope over strands of rich leather. A Kabela Design filigree holds the focal in place magnificently. Accents like TierraCast findings and textured rings complete this look you'll love creating and wearing.
Use the Artbeads Jungle Queen Designer Blend and Miyuki 8/0 round seed beads in Duracoat galvanized yellow gold to create a Cellini spiral stitch rope. This stitch is actually tubular peyote that utilizes different sizes of beads to create the spiral effect. Watch our Cellini spiral stitch tutorial video to learn how to create the stitch. Sort your seed beads by color and size and follow the pattern Cynthia uses in the video. Keep stitching until your rope is approximately 4 5/8 inches long.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
