The rizos definitely give this design a different look and shape! Though since some extra thread shows around the rizo beads when they're used in this design, I added a couple more 15° seed beads to these earrings compared to the charms described in the original pattern. Two extra seed beads sit on either side of the rizos on the sides of the charm, and four extra seed beads sit at both the top and bottom of the charm, between the circles of four rizo beads.
Would you like to make your own rizo bead earrings? The Tila Droplet Charm design is available as a free pattern on my website as a PDF download, where I explain how to weave this rizo'd variation. As always, if you find this pattern useful, drop me a line and let me know!
Very very nice!
ReplyDeleteCute earrings! Adding those extra little seed beads was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Rizo beads yet, but I really want to. They're adorable!
Thanks so much! Rizos are interesting little beads. I've found that I can sometimes substitute them for the Miyuki drop beads in my previous designs, but it doesn't always work.
ReplyDeleteI meant to comment on a previous post. Thank you for the freebie pattern. I really like these earrings with the rizo beads. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanya! I'd love to see what you'll make with this pattern :)
