Cabochon brooch
I used Delica beads size 11 no.689
Delica size 15 bead no. 4122.
Nymo thread size D
Glass Cabochon 40 x 30mm
Collage Sheet
Ultra Suede
Brooch clip.
The brooch is made by gluing the picture to the glass cabochon.Beads are then placed around the cabochon and 3 rows of peyote stitch using size 11 Delica beads are added to the base row,changing to size 15 Delica's for the next five rows,which brings the bead work into a smaller oval.
The cabochon is then backed with the brooch pin and ultra suede and then added to the bead work.
Two rows of Peyote stitch are added in size 11 and 15 Delica beads to the back of the work to hold the cabochon in place.
One row of the 689 beads are placed around the edge and then size 10 seed beads were added to this edge to make the small picot edge around the brooch.
This is the first beaded Cabochon brooch,that I have made and was quite pleased with the result.
And happy to say that Connie loved her gift.
