Gwen Fisher

The Seven Sisters Bead Cluster is suitable for intermediate beaders. The Seven Sister Bead Cluster resembles a glistening glass chrysanthemum. This design incorporates a variety of stitches in uncommon combinations to deliver a radially symmetric cluster of beads. Stitches include right angle weave, peyote stitch, fringe, and a technique that we call the Lace Overlay. A web of beads on the back allows you to add a cord or chain to the finished cluster and wear it as a pendant.
