Remember my post from the other day about how bead-crochet is a craft where you definitely need to trust the process? Here's the same piece that was pictured in said post; exactly ten rows in and coming together 😁! It will look even better by row twenty, and will eventually become an awesome wristlet lanyard for someone 🥰🙌!

If the phrase "trust the process" had a physical embodiment, it would 100% be bead-crochet lol.

Look at this sad, gappy little circle of beads (and this is one of my better starts, mind you) 😜. It's hard to imagine that by row number 10 or so, the space between beads will start to tighten up, and the pattern will become visible 🤯. And eventually, I'll have an entire beautiful bracelet or lanyard to smile about! I rest my case, your honor *dramatically bows*.

I don't know who had the patience to figure this out back in the day, but I'm incredibly grateful they did! Bead-crochet projects are one of my favorite things to work on 🤗. I just don't enjoy stringing pattern repetitions and will complain about that till the cows come home 😝. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol.

Sneak peak of some upcoming bead crochet projects 😁! Do y'all have a favorite 👀?

I haven't decided what these will be yet but would love to hear some opinions! I usually make bangles or wristlet lanyards with an occasional pen wrap thrown in, but all ideas are welcome 🤗!

Another bead crochet beauty that I'm surprised to still have 😳. How this wristlet lanyard hasn't flown off the metaphorical shelf is beyond me, but then again, I love turquoise and green and am very biased 😂😜.

I could really use some sales this month so even if this isn't really your thing, please don't forget to react, comment, and share. It really does mean the world to me 🤗!

Did y'all know that I also BEAD CROCHET 👀? Yup, there's a combo of two of my favorite things, and I do that too lol!

Initially, I was actually very hesitant to try this technique because it seemed rather intimidating. As with many things though, it actually turned out to be not so bad lol. Foundations can be finicky, and stringing repetitions of your pattern can be tedious, but other than that; I've really come to enjoy it! Plus, the smooth texture of the rope reminds me of something along the lines of reptile skin. My sensory issues approve lol 😜.

Anywho... I usually save this technique for when I'm making bangle bracelets or wristlet lanyards, and I've taken some creative liberties with finishing the latter. I just want to achieve a slightly different look, and it's been interesting figuring out something that works for me 🧐. It's certainly given my brain its daily workout lol!

Moving along, I currently have 5 or so of these projects in the works and plan to post more about a few of them soon 😃! What do y'all think? Are either of these something you or someone you know would use/wear? Inquiring minds want to know!

Also, just a quick FYI: if you'd like to know more about either of the pieces pictured; I'm adding their links in the comments 🤗.

I finished this Sunday! The main body is made with what I assume are 6/0 cylinder beads, whereas the flower is made from 8/0 seed beads. I got an aluminum bicycle chain to hang this from, as you can see. Looks quite spiffy. 😎😄

That said, this is for sale... 😏

Nephew No. 2 asked me a few days ago to make him a beaded rope, and I happily obliged. He picked out the seed beads, and I strung them to a 24 in. length. He gave it a test run a few days, and according to him, he has been getting lots of compliments.

The pendant is the Fanfare Pendant from the Starman TrendSetters pattern line. I made this as a test run of the pattern a few months ago, and I thought it would be a neat addition to the necklace. Coordinating while contrasting, it adds visual appeal to the piece.

An green aventurine thumb stone put into a beaded netting bezel and strung together with matching rondelle beads, and 8/0 and 11/0 beads. The piece measures 18 inches, with plans of an extender chain/clasp the moment I can find my jump rings. 😅

Traditionally, aventurine symbolizes fortune and luck, and has been called a "gambling stone" in many circles. Funnily enough, I was finishing this necklace as one of my nephews was trying to defeat Aventurine on Honkai: Star Rail. 😂
