Black Santa Christmas Bauble Ornament Bead Pattern

The fringe work at the base of the ornament is a combination of silver and jet fire polished beads with black delicas attached to the beaded band using a netted stitch. This bead pattern is made using Japanese Miyuki size 11 Delica beads. Even count peyote and brick stitch is used. It is assumed the beader will be familiar with Brick and Peyote.
