Use your two favorite colors of size 8 seed beads to create two distinctly different in appearance, but related in technique beaded beads. The intriguing shape of the pillow bead is produced by combining two pieces of beadwork in a surprising way. Expand on what you learned in the first bead to make a distinctly new shape of beaded bead, Trillium beaded bead. Go on to sample two more stitches: layered cross needle weave and tubular African stitches. Compose a finished necklace that combines your new beaded beads and samplers with pearls, gemstones, glass, seed and/or other beads.
