The Soulful Spirit collection from TierraCast includes meaningful beads inspired by cultures from around the world. The Baule beads in this necklace were influenced by Baule art and beads from Africa. They give this necklace a textured, tribal look when paired with wood beads and coiled spacers. You can see more from the Soulful Spirit collection in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Add three TierraCast antique copper 6mm twist heishi spacers to a 2-inch antique brass-plated 20 gauge eye pin, followed by a 8x23mm rice wood bead and three more spacers. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads. Attach a 5mm antique brass-plated open jump ring to one end. Repeat this step for a total of two links.
Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the Baule bead. Then, add a crimp tube and bring the wire through the jump ring on the other link. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
