Above: dolphin pattern worked in single count peyote stitch using Miyuki delica beads. This pattern could be repeated, to make a 3D amulet bag. Left as is, and framed, this pattern can make an interesting home decor item. Original design by Lynn Smythe.
Decorative Beadart
I used to create a ton of seed bead jewelry. The smaller the bead, the more interesting. I got bored only making wearable art, so I decided to create some larger beadwork patterns. The larger patterns can be attached to a fabric covered cardboard backing, then framed, to create unique, beaded home decor items.

Beadart or Bead Jewelry
The three fairy/goddess bead pictures could be worked in a smaller bead to make a piece of wearable art. Try using size 15 seed beads to make an amulet bag sized beaded bag.
Take care,
