Sivia Harding's Dragonfly Neckpiece and Bracelet
are dazzling and unique. The neckpiece is created in two
pieces for a sculptural effect. Two different methods of using beads are used,
one for the body, one for the wings and neck cord. The matching bracelet echoes
the beading pattern found on the wings of the dragonfly.
Yarn: Fingering or sport weight smooth ribbon or novelty
yarn - approx. 90 yds Sample used Elba by Needful Yarns (100% Nylon; 153 yds per

distributed by Russi Sales, Shimmer by South West Trading Company, Opal Lamι by

Finished Measurements: Finished circumference of neckpiece:
approximately 15.5. Finished circumference of bracelet: approximately 6.25.
One size fits most as I-cord strands are stretchy. However,
if desired, the cord of the neckpiece may be easily lengthened by adding 2 beads
for each additional .5 (1 bead for each side of cord). Likewise, the bracelet
may be lengthened by adding 3 beads for each additional .5.
