Linda Gettings offers a fun brick stitch cube necklace to showcase a focal bead. Sandra D. Halpenny shares not one but TWO fabulous projects, a lacy seed bead necklace and a delightful peyote bracelet. I've contributed a Silver Bauble circular herringbone necklace design.

Celebrate the Holidays with Ronit Florence's peyote bracelets: Honey Apples for the Jewish New Year and Grinning Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.
