I like that the two earrings you put them side by side it matched perfectly. You could make it a pendant so you have an earring/necklace set. Did you plan the earrings like that? Or was it a coincidence?

[@beadaholique]

One great thing about these patterns is that it's easy to create a mirror image. We recommend trying it out! Making a matching pendant is a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

This is marvelous! I couldn’t find a PDF on your site for the straight line paper you used. I found the staggered, though. Can you help me?

[@beadaholique]

Hi! It wouldn't let me link the pdf here, but you can find it on this page beadaholique.com/blogs/techniques-guides/bead-looming-101-beading-and-jewelry-making-on-a-bead-loom - it's right in the paragraph under this heading "Bead Loom Patterns and Project Tutorials" and it's called Loom paper but you can use it for bead weaving and fringe too. It has the straight lines.
