Description Finally, my Dutch spiral

It was an odyssey to complete. I had bought the Miyuki bugles and started making the spiral, and then I found that they weren't enough to make the entire necklace, so I finished it on both sides with a Russian spiral in seed beads.

I finished it last night and when I woke up and wanted to take some pictures, the sky was cloudy and it was windy as well, so this was the best I could do with the weather conditions. The bugles look a bit darker in the photo. Maybe I'll edit this later...

6 mm Miyuki Twist Bugles (in dyed transparent amethyst), 11/0 black and silk blue violet seed beads. Black C-Lon thread and a barrel clasp.

Thank you! When I saw those bugles I knew I had to buy them I followed some online instructions, I don't know if they're right or not...

I hope they are if they aren't, I still like the result! (This devilish thing was a true bugle eater, if you try one with bugles be prepared with enough stock of them...)

The bugles are in two shades of green? I thought it was the light... Well, then you're a very skilled amateur And I guess every beader has to be insane to some point
