Falling Leaves Lariat

Instructor: Marcia DeCoster

Course Outline:

Freeform leaves cascade gracefully from each end of an ndbele lariat. The leaves are gradated in color from dark to light and created using freeform peyote techniques. The three sided nedbele neckchain is then made incorporating accent beads along the length. The lariat can be worn short to add interest to any neckline or worn long as your fashion sense dictates.

Supplies List: The required beads can be purchased at Beadfx.

Your leaf palette should include some or all of the following:

Several tubes (5 to 6) of beads including size 11, round, triangle, hex, delicas, Size 8's and 6's, small pearls, 2 or 3mm fire polish crystals and whatever other small beads strike your fancy.

The neckchain is created in ndebele, using size 11 beads and is three sided. You may choose all one colour or 3 different colours. You may also in-corporate accent beads from your palette into the neckchain. I did this every few inches using size 11s and pearls, crystals and size 8 beads.

Approximately 2 long tubes of size 11 will create a long lariat. If you choose to use multiple colors, then a smaller amount of each color would be required.

Instructor Bio:

Marcia's love for beautiful jewelry and the desire to create her own designs brought Marcia to beads in the early 1990's. Marcia designs colorful and fun to wear jewelry and shares her designs through teaching and writing. Remembering her own early attempts, Marcia recognizes that everyone learns differently and so takes great care to provide clear, concise and comprehensive instructions, graphics and text.

Her work has been published Carol Wilcox Wells’s The Art and Elegance of Bead Weaving and Margie Deeb’s The Beaders Color Pallette.

In 2008 her work was featured in Masters Beadweaving and her urchin lariat graces the cover.

In 2009 her own book 'Marcia DeCoster's Beaded Opulence' was published by Lark.

Marcia is one of the featured 'Designers of the Year' in Beadwork magazine.
