Some sunset gradient fringes I love making

https://thornybeadwork.etsy.com/listing/1270063062

These are SO fun to make and I just got more of the findings for them. Working with these colors is always a treat!

Any thoughts of different types of charms that'd work well with these? I'm thinking of making some with ovals and circles, as well as some shorter versions on smaller crescent moon charms. Maybe clouds, I have some cool cloud charms.

I think clouds with these colours would be divine!

u/thisisnotrlynotfunny 22d ago

I'd say, flat stitch or peyote stitch for the clouds!

u/napyarn 21d ago

That wouldn't give the movement I want but peyote stitch is my og and I love it. Unless u mean making the clouds using peyote stitch and doing fringe off those, I'm which case πŸ€” πŸ‘€

u/thisisnotrlynotfunny 21d ago

Yeah yeah, peyote stitch the clouds and hang off the fringes! Flat stitch the cloud and the frings could make cute a hair piece (which exactly what I am working on rn hehe)

Oh, I see! I have cloud charms already, but that does seem really cool. Peyote stitch clouds are on my design list now, flat stitch ones too!

Do you think gradient top to bottom, or the side to middle to side kind? I'm personally thinking the first

These are so gorgeous! I definitely plan on purchasing a pair as soon as I can. I think cloud charms would look amazing! Maybe sun charms could be an option, as well as animal charms, such as crows/ravens?

u/AlfalfaUnable1629 19d ago

I’d pay double what you have listed and I’m not particularly wealthy lol

u/napyarn 18d ago

Oh 😭 I might need to increase my prices then. It's hard when there aren't a lot of men who bead, idk how to price anything cuz no one wants to trade thoughts
