Do you try and use your beading supplies in different ways? Donna of This Year's Dozen does. Her earring tutorial makes use of daisy spacers or metal rondelles in a totally different way!
Several of them are grouped together so they look like one large bead! She also used them as regular spacers.
Some years ago, a beginner beader at one of ours beading workshop did the same thing only by accident! My copper spacers were bought in bulk and came strung on a piece of wire. Lynda hadn't realized they were all individual beads so she used them as a group. Doesn't this idea make for a great new look?

I actually think these wonderful little beads look prettier when they're grouped together. Their decorative edges seem to "click" together and forms a lovely texture that just one daisy spacer alone cannot accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI've used daisy spacers grouped into small clusters between beads in a bracelet or necklace but find Donna's use of them in her earrings very clever and attractive.
