Loom Choker
The body of this choker, beaded on a loom, used 11° seed beads, Blue Iris and Green Iris with some Gold Iris. The neckpiece was work separately, using the two needle method to form the ladder. After I attached the loomed piece to the ladder, I fringed it using the same seed beads and small, Gold Iris, bugle beads.

The ladder effect I used for the neckpiece is quite versatile – I have even hung long bugle beads and seed beads from each bugle bead in the ladder to create other necklaces. You can use it as a choker by itself, or hang pendants and charms. The ladder can be formed using one of two different methods, a single needle method or a 2 needle method.
