Quick Project Steps
Begin by threading an 8/0 seed bead, a Czech glass bead, and another 8/0 seed bead.
Create a sunray pattern by stringing one 11/0 seed bead, five long magatamas (points facing up and to the left for consistency), and another 11/0 seed bead.
Loop back through the nearest 8/0 seed bead to the Czech glass bead, pulling tight to form the sunray.
Continue threading through the Czech glass bead, adding another set of sunrays on the other side.
Repeat the pattern, adding beads in a right-angle weave style for expansion.
Experiment with shapes, sizes, or even shorten the design for earrings.

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.
