Red Lined Chartreuse Drop

That's a pretty long description for such a tiny bead! I bought a small tube of these at a local bead shop last year. When I bought them I thought the color combination was interesting and was intrigued by how small they are. The container reads, "Japanese Seed Beads, 3.4mm, Red-lined chartreuse drop". I remember thinking they would be cute used in a simple right angle weave bracelet.

Now that I am looking at them again, I'd like to try making the right angle weave bauble with them. I have only made the bauble with bicone crystals or e-beads, so it ought to be interesting. I'm not 100% sure it will work.

If you have never made the right angle weave bauble, I must tell you that you are missing something very special. It's quite a magical process requiring 12 beads and some beading thread or clear monofilament. The ball forms at the very end when you pull the threads, like MAGIC!

I just realized I used one of my crystal baubles on my cell phone lariat. Here's a picture that you should be able to click on for a close up view. I wrote some instructions for it several years ago that I'd be happy to share if you would like a copy.

Have a sparkly evening!

Update: I just wanted to let you know I did try to make the bauble with the drop beads and it seems to have worked!! Too Cute!!
