Around the bead part 3: Three

It's another variation of "Around the bead".

The ends are not finished. They are open for binding onto anything, such as pin, brooch, bookmark, hair clip, gift decoration etc.

The photos show both sides. I prefer natural beads, although they have some natural flaws or defects.

The Blue Star

The Blue Star is a small pendant creation, as you can tell by the silver chain.
Sometimes the chain provides a good way to compare the sizes.

The pictures show both sides and both sides work. Due to the construction of the blue star, it's no need to add a loop for the chain. This is one of my favorite ways. No extra loop.

Using pliers to end the wire is an easy and fast way to do, but tool marks always follow.
If wanting to avoid tool marks, the ends are still the hard part. Trying to end without tool marks requires some thoughts.

Materials of this simple style ring

1. 22 gauge about 20cm
2. 4 mm crystal beads * 4pcs
3. 6 mm natural stone bead

Actually, this kind of simple ring can have quite different feelings, just by changing the beads. 22 gauge wire can go through even most of 3mm beads and seed beads. That means many kinds of options to apply to the pattern.
