Gallery – Bead Embroidery and Rivolis
One of my favorite beading techniques is bead embroidery. I also love working with rivolis — I mean, a girl just has to have some bling in her life, right? So to give you some ideas, here are photos of some of my work.

I bought a grab bag when I was at a beading class with my idol, Sherry Serafini. I challenged myself to make something using what was in the grab bag. I did add the daggers and chain, but the cabs, all the beads larger than size 15 seed beads were from the grab bag.

I have a ton of shells and wanted to do something with them. Bead embroidery with tiny pearls seemed to be appropriate!
