Bead crochet rope with a peyote slide enhancer. About 4 years ago, at the Tucson Bead Show I purchased a pendant slider kit from Nanette Young-
Greiner (
Scorpio Beads) and Shirley Cook (
Jumping Jack Glass), who collaborate on glass flower and leaf designs to create their kits. Their
lampwork beads and color combinations are
phenomenal. I first saw
the peyote/slider technique in Bead and Button's October, 2007 issue where Veronique Landis used silver crimp tube beads to peyote stitch a background for her wirework, flowers and leaves. After reading Veronique's instructions, I did make one using my polymer clay leaves and Czech glass beads, but this one; this one is my all time favorite.

Gorgeous lariat!
No surprise it's your favorite. The colors especially are perfect...and the whole effect is stunning. This is my favorite of your bead crochet ropes. No slithery feelings looking at it ;)...it's beautiful!
Thank you Marta and Barbara.
As always Marlene, this is amazing. Until a while back I had never heard of a slider. Now Paulette Walther at Kazuri has the Samunnat ladies making some and sliders have become VERY significant! This one is so dainty. Love seeing your ceaseless creativity! Wendy
Thank you Wendy; much appreciated.
