A 16x14mm Crystal Passions® prismatic hexagon—Majestic Blue foil back—encased in six Tila beads. 11/0 and 8/0 Toho beads accentuate the piece. If you look closely, you can see the thread in the Tila beads, an error on my part because I did have white beading thread but didn't think of it until waaaay later XD

Yesterday's dive into Pinterest got me making this beautiful pendant dangle. The title of the pattern is "Once Upon A Time," and apparently belongs to Ms. Gunta from her moonperl blogspot site.

The bail strip was my idea.

A close-up of a Moroccan Tiles bracelet I made using tila beads, drop beads, and seed beads. The tilas are a metallic reddish bronze with a hint of a blue sheen, the drops are amber yellow with an AB (iridescent) finish, and the seed beads are a raspberry-esque pink; also with an AB finish. The bracelet is displayed in direct sunlight and modeled on a flat wooden hand mannequin. You can vaguely make out a blue sky and green trees in the background.

Question for my fellow beaders 🙌! Who is a good US-based online shop with a large selection of tila beads available 👀🍿? I'm getting ready to order more, and tilas seem to be something that are often out of stock or shops only carry a small selection 🙃. #beadedsky #tilabeads #beads #artisaniso
