Lacy Beaded Rings

I've been experimenting with cross-needle weaving, or, two-needle weaving a lot lately. For a while I was quite content working with one needle. As I look to expand my experience, though, I thought it was worth a shot. There are some things you just can't do with one needle alone, and some things are just a whole lot easier using two needles. At first it was difficult, I felt like I was learning to bead all over again. My left hand is used to holding the beadwork, not a needle, so it took a little getting used to. After I was comforable with it I just couldn't stop! I'll share more with you throughout the week, but here's a glimpse at my first cross-weaving endeavors...some lacy beaded rings!

Indeed managing two needles for such kind of beauty creation is indeed hard. But happy to see you did the job super easy way at last. Seriously those rings look so so lovely and fascinating. The color combination also was able to draw my attention. Look really stylish and fashionable. I would like to say my hearty thanks for sharing the brilliant experience. In fact, my browsing story was to reveal some handmade earrings ireland< But I have to admit the lacy beaded rings you unveiled here for us made me crazy to have. Surely I have to try for myself.
