Last year, I won the Backstory Beads Saki Silver giveaway. Karin, the host of the giveaway, asked that I let her know what I make with those beautiful clasps and bead soup. Every so often, I like to learn a new bead stitch. I can now say I have mastered the netted rope, thanks to a tutorial from IntricatesByDeb . Karin's bead soup was made up of pacific opal crystals and seed beads of all shapes in pinks, browns, deep reds, and teal blues. I added tahitian swarovski pearls to the mix and this is the result. Yes, I painstakingly separated the beads by size.
