Light and lacy, with a charm reminiscent of antique beaded collars, this kit is based on a beaded collar designed by Glenda Payseno, and is her version of the Saraguro style beaded necklaces.
Glenda Payseno is one of my favorite bead patterns designers. Her innovative designs, easy to read instructions, and perfectly executed graphs make any beading project she creates a joy to bead.
This particular project is no exception. By using a combination brick stitch, netting and right-angle weave, this lovely collar takes on a look similar to that of the beadwork created by the women of Saraguro, Ecuador.
And, since this beaded collar kit is distributed by Ready to Bead?, you can be sure that the contents of the kit are only the finest bead items available.
Glenda Payseno originally called this necklace the Salmon Saraguro Beaded Necklace Kit, but after having the difference between the collection of stitches she used to create the necklace, and the actual technique used by the Saraguro women, and the difference therein, she re-named the kit to the correct Salmon Saraguro Style Beaded Necklace Kit as befits a beader of Glenda's integrity. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Glenda and Sherry had made the name change on all kits issued after, so I had written a revised review about this issue before I was amde aware of the change of title.
But whatever you do, don't let any of this stop you from buying this kit! It is a gorgeous, light and lacy necklace, with a beautiful drape, and the finest materials are included, a given, since it is distributed by Ready to Bead?. Plus, you can get refills for the kit once you've made your original purchase, and you'll be sure you're getting the finest materials should you do so.
