A Quaintrelle is a woman who lives a life of passion, expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life's pleasures... sounds like a beader to me!

Quaintrelle is an amalgamation project where I have gone back to some previous beadwork and combined different elements from different projects & Beadalongs to create a project which has been in my mind for a little while...

You may notice it combines the principle of the Pendant from the Summer 2020 Secret Beadalong with the Rope from the Summer 2023 Secret Beadalong and a Vessel based on the one in my Mostra
project.

The necklace centrepiece is formed of a reversible Pendant on a Pendant Hanger both of which use striking Swarovski Dome crystals along with 2mm Swarovski Pearls. The centrepiece & adornment are designed to be stored on & in the co-ordinating Stand to give the effect of a beaded adornment on the Stand.

The Rope is a Beautifully flexible one which uses 2 different sizes of Miyuki seed beads with SuperDuos but you can of course use any other Rope you prefer

This is an intermediate+ project and you must be very comfortable with Peyote Stitch, small beads and following instructions.
