"Juliet Beaded Bead" on a right angle weave chain. This was the prototype for the Juliet Beaded Bead. A friend who wishes to remain anonymous helped me design the bead, while I was awaiting rotator cuff surgery. She patiently "babysat" me while I was on medications after the surgery, and I entertained myself by making kits. I hope one day my friend will let me post her name (it is on the pattern).

I used my "Juliet Beaded Bead" pattern and adapted it to fit the frog lampwork beads and the rondells. "Frogpak" is a creativity kit of mixed beads to inspire you.
