Fifteen beads in search of a project


I made these beaded beads about 2 years ago, following Leslie Frazier's "Woven Beads" pattern featured in "The Art and Elegance of Beadweaving" by Carol Wilcox Wells and using size 11 Japanese seed beads and 4mm czech faceted glass. I've fished them out at intervals since then but never hit on the right project but now I think I see my way clear.
I've just finished a set of smaller beaded beads using Japanese size 15s in Lined Light Violet and 3mm czech faceted glass in a colour that tones with the amethyst in these. My plan is to string both sets together with the 3mm and 4mm Crystal AB facets I have on order acting as spacers. If it goes well, I'll post a photo.
