SuperDuo Tile Earrings - Cherry & Ivory


SUPERDUO TILE EARRINGS
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Opaque Tan" (493)
  • SuperDuo beads "Opaque Ivory"
  • SuperDuo beads "Cherry"


I used Deb Roberti's most recent pattern to make these earrings. You can buy the "SuperDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings" pattern HERE at Around the Beading Table. I have made samples in seven more colorways. The challenge was to find seed beads in coordinating colors to go with all of them but I managed to come up with some combos that I think you will like. I will blog about them as soon as I get them all made and photographed.

Note that Deb's pattern does not call for any 8/0 seed beads. I changed the top of my earrings to accommodate jump rings to attach the earring wires. Although I used all Miyuki seed beads in today's earrings, some of the earrings that I will be showing you soon will have Toho 11/0 accent beads. I have so many more pretty colors in Toho beads and I found a way to make them work with this pattern by adding groups of three contrasting beads instead of four.
