This was done in 11/0 seeds instead of delicas and in brick stitch instead of peyote. The pallette is very different and there is no pendant on the bottom, but the whole thing is bordered in a brick stitch ruffle. It has a brick stitch strap edged in 4 bead fretting, instead of a strand of strung beads.
The heart bag was the second amulet pouch that I ever made for myself. I made one for each of my children to practice: a square stitch one and project 2 from the amulet pouch book.
Pat Savu is the queen of brick stitch - she makes wonderful original creations and has had her work, "Ba Released", shown in the "Up Close" section of BeadWork magazine. Isn't her work wonderful?!! If you want to get in touch with her, you can e-mail her or visit her fantastic website, New Kingdom Beadwork.
