Although the Kinetic pattern calls for size 11 Delica beads I used "mystery" beads from my very old stash. Although they are slightly large the sparkle is pleasing. I think size 15/0 seed beads would be a good alternative.
For cotton thread earrings a stiffener helps hold the shape. I used Aleene's Fabric Stiffener and Draping Liquid to paint on the back side only. When dry it did not seem to dull the sheen of the white thread much, so it could probably be used on both sides, taking care to avoid getting it on the beads.
The "Primal" necklace in bright autumn colors is finished. Although, as I look at it now, it's giving tropical vibes!
