I finished this collar for my mother's birthday in March. It's a simple triangle weave of rhyolite, 4mm fire polished beads and ivory delicas.

The pattern is Betty Rodriguez's Holly Berries Collar printed in the November-December 2006 issue of Step by Step Beads magazine. I rarely follow a pattern to the letter, but in this case, the only changes I made were the color scheme and the substitution of 4mm fire polished beads for the stones ones along the upper edge. The latter added a small touch of sparkle and variety without disrupting the symmetry.
