6 Pattern Downloads to Make with Crescent Beads

Description

Crescents are one of the most versatile and popular of the shaped beads and a great way to add dimension to your beadwork. They can lend subtle curvature to a feminine pendant, spherical shapes to a funky bracelet, or spiky texture to an edgy cuff. The convex or concave side of the crescent can be highlighted, and both offer interesting design possibilities. The delicate outside arc is particularly pretty when creating floral-inspired pieces. The six projects in this eBook range from easy to intermediate and represent the best projects from Beadwork magazine.
