I was surfing the net looking for small metal beads when I chanced upon this website called 'The Bead Palor'. Actually, the instructors' works from this palor have app
eared in many issues of the Bead & Button Magazine but I have never really checked out its site.
Anyway, what caught my eye is a class conducted by Ms Shelley Nybakke on 'Lucious Links', which looks almost similar to my 'Golden Chain' Necklace.
I believe Ms Shelley has created hers using the Peyote stitch but probably in a different variation to mine. Her links are flatter and in oval shape, whereas mine are thicker round shaped links.

I just thought it is amazing to see two people from different parts of the world coming up with an almost identical design. Well, I guess it is not surprising as well since there are not many ways you can design with the links.
Updates: Ms Shelley has kindly advised that her "Lucious Links" was created using the Right Angle Weave and the project was published in the Beadwork Magazine February/March 2008 issue.
Mine is actually made with RAW. It was published in one of the Beadwork Magazines. I like making chains for some weird reason.
