Your stuff is gorgeous! I love Japanese beadwork. The Bead Fantasies series is fantastic, and when I lived in NYC *OH how I miss you!* I used to go to the Toho and get Japanese books all the time. My fav's are the "Beads News" series

Thanks for the links! Can't wait to check them out

WOW! Your rings blow me away. They're GORGEOUS!
Getting back to the Zen flower (cuz I love love love it!), do you know what size the heart crystals you used were? I know the tute says large and small but I was wondering if you remembered how many mm. That's an awesome tute by the way, Thank you so much for posting it!

Oh, how silly of me!  (I only have a few sizes to choose from at the bead store I go too, so it's pretty easy to figure out the sizes when I'm there!  )

The large ones are 14mm and the smaller ones are 10mm.

Have fun making this!  It's a wonderful pendant!!!  And so sparkly!!!

Your stuff is so beautiful!  I especially love the blue flower on the black cord. I really like Swarovski beads. There so awesome, but so expensice, but then sooo worth it

Do the heart beads have the horizontal hole or the hole that goes from front to back?

Thanks for the compliments!  I recently had to remake that blue flower necklace for the friend who I gave it to because she broke it while fiddling with the beads!    haha

The tutorial was hand made by me, so it was a little difficult to get everything drawn out perfect.
Yes, if you look at the heart face front, the holes go from front to back. Like these pretty, colorful Swarovski Hearts.
