Beaded Hoop Earrings using Brickstitch Technique

I created these earrings using silver plated hoops as a base.

 

Using the brick stitch technique, I wove tiny seed beads around the perimeter of these sturdy little hoops, using nymo thread, a strong multifilament thread favored by bead artists. The beadwork on these earrings will not flop around as I use a firm tension in my weaving, but it is slightly flexible.

 

These earrings feature tiny size 11 and size 15 seed beads in blue, teal, orange and purple for a colorful, tribal boho or folk look.

 

Dimensions: The earrings measure 1.375 inches across at their widest, and 1.125 inches tall. (The earrings measure 3.5 cm across at their widest, and 2.9 cm tall.)
