Wildflower Fields Set

Weave a beautiful beaded topiary ball pendant, matching earrings, and a matching bracelet using a variety of shaped seed beads! This design uses round, drop, and peanut-shaped seed beads to construct the petite Wildflower Fields charm using a variation of the circular peyote stitch. This charm can be turned into matching stud earrings, and several charms can be connected together for a winding bracelet. The seed bead base of the pendant is woven over a core bead using the geometry of a dodecahedron, and each wildflower is then added to the base (Check out my free Candy Dodecahedron pattern for an introduction to dodecahedron beaded beads). Experiment with different colors to create a different pair of Wildflower Fields earrings for each season, or combine the charms and the pendant together into a beautiful necklace.
