Last summer, I had the pleasure of witnessing the enthralling magic of the illuminations at Jones Beach. As the sun set and darkness enveloped the sky, the beach transformed into a mesmerizing spectacle of lights. The dazzling array of colors and designs painted the night with a sense of whimsy and wonder. Walking along the beach, I was captivated by the myriad of illuminated sculptures that adorned the shoreline. These larger-than-life creations seemed to come alive in the darkness, their intricately placed lights creating a surreal and magical atmosphere. From shimmering seashells to dancing dolphins, each sculpture told its own unique story, adding to the enchantment of the evening.
The size and brand of bead you use may affect the final look of the pattern. Miyuki Delicas and Toho beads look the best and have a classy feel. While on the pricey side, they are well worth the cost in how easy they are to bead and the beauty of the finished beadwork. For the larger patterns, to make earrings, I suggest using size 11 or 15 Delicas. I prefer the Perler Mini Beads for my beadwork. Along with a low price tag, they brick stitch really well and have a fun and whimsical look. They are also great for beaders who don’t see well or young beaders who might have trouble with tiny beads. Their size also makes for great brick stitch beaded ornaments and key chain dangles. (My favorite to bead.)
With the following brick stitch bead pattern, increases and decreases at the beginning and ending of rows are used to create the unique shape of this Witch With Glasses pendant. If you are using a brand of bead that is not listed above, compare your bead size in millimeters with the ones listed above to gain a comparable estimate of the finish size of your beaded jewelry project.
From shimmering seashells to dancing dolphins, each sculpture told its own unique story, adding to the enchantment of the evening. As I ventured further into the illuminated wonderland, I stumbled upon a synchronized light show. The music reverberated through the air as vibrant beams of light danced in perfect harmony.

Each explosion was met with gasps and cheers from the crowd, as everyone became enthralled by the magic unfolding before their eyes. As the last firework faded away, leaving only faint traces of smoke in the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for being able to witness such a magnificent display.
