In this video from PotomacBeads Allie teaches you how to make her "Paintbrush Necklace" design using just 2 sizes of Miyuki seed beads.
Technique Learned: Herringbone
Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads and tools listed in the materials section.
Start the Herringbone Base: Using 8/0 seed beads, create a tubular herringbone base. Begin with a length of thread, adding a stop bead to prevent beads from falling off.
Add Colors for the Paintbrush Effect: Incorporate 11/0 seed beads between the herringbone stitches to introduce colors. Progress by increasing and then decreasing the number of 11/0 seed beads used between the 8/0 seed beads to form a paintbrush tip effect.
Joining and Finishing: After reaching the desired length, remove the stop bead and weave both ends together seamlessly. Secure the threads and trim any excess.
Customization: Feel free to adjust the length, color scheme, or bead sizes as per your preference to make the necklace uniquely yours.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
Enjoy looking at your selections and finding something unusual.
