This lariat necklace was beaded using several different bead stitches, including Brick Stitch to make the bails for the lampwork beads, and Spiral Rope Chain to make the lariat itself. Pat used the larger size 8/0 beads at the core with size 11/0 beads as the wrap-around beads, then added a beaded fringe to cover the bails she beaded to attach the lampwork beads to the lariat. What a beautiful way to wear such lucious lampwork beads.
