Description

(2019), 3"x 7.5", Size 11 Delica beads (matte black, matte metallic bronze, matte silver grey, cream opal, cream satin), Fireline.


On a recent trip to Florida I wanted an easy piece that would work up into a nice bit of summer wear and made a pattern based on the markings of a snow leopard's fur. It just requires 5 different bead colors, but still makes for a nice natural look, and the cream satin beads add a beautiful bit of sparkle to the piece when the light hits it just the right way.


It'll look cool worn with jeans and t-shirt for a laid-back look or with a little black dress for something more elegant and sophisticated.


If you want to make your own, you can get the pattern from my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/listing/713393151…

Snow Leopards are my favorites! You really captured the variance of their spots here.

Thank you! I've always been fascinated by the patterns of big cats, and snow leopards have perhaps the most gorgeous coats of all of them.
