Rivoli Beadwork Volume 2 (just like Volume 1) has 5 different themed chapters for the projects ('Seed Beads', 'Pearls', 'Geometric', 'Extra Sparkle' and 'Shaped Beads').
Shown here is one of my favourite series of projects from its pages: 'Bundles of Bicone Bezels' which features in the 'Extra Sparkle' chapter.
I had a lot of fun coming up with this design as I had the idea of working out a bezel that could fit lots of different sizes of Rivolis (in this case 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16nn & 18mm plus 27mm Crown Stones) just by varying the number of repeats.
The end result is this series which uses small 3mm Bicones & size 15 Miyuki seed beads to create bezels which work beautifully by themselves or in combination with others as you can see here.
As always with each project I give you the colours I used so you can bead exactly what I did, and I tell you how to cover the backs of each piece!
The book is available direct from me (it will be signed) or direct from Amazon who will print & mail out a brand-new copy just for you (just search for the book name or my name on their website).
It is available in 3 variations (if you buy a physical one you get the digital one included):
