Day 15 of my 2022 Christmas Countdown and it's my Beaded Angels.
This ornament is very special to me because it was tricky to make. I went to classes at Nancy's Stitch Studio and learnt how to do beading. The beads are threaded together with very fine Nymo thread which is extra strong nylon thread. The way they nest in to each other is called Peyote stitch - frequently used by North American Indians.
To make this ornament we made the same angel six times, and then did some fancy magic stuff at the top to join them all together.
Can you believe I was so happy when this was finished that I bought a second kit to make another set? It's sitting upstairs barely started and I don't know if I can remember how to do it now. Maybe I'll dig it out in 2023 - my year of finishing things. (Where's the laughing emoji when you need it.)

The angels are lovely but I don't think I would have purchased the 2nd kit! Happy stitching or beading!
Very cool design. Beautiful work. You definitely need to work on the second one! :-)
Very beautiful!!!
Beautiful bead work Wendy! Hugs
I would love to make one of those...do you know where I can find the pattern?? I looked at Nancy's Stitch Studio but couldn't find it.
Hi Chel. The lady I learnt from has left NZ now and I don't even know if she still does beading. I did a Google search and saw some similar angel designs available from overseas. I guess another option could be beading magazines. Sorry I can't be more help.
