Guest Designer Cindy Holsclaw offers this cute symmetric bead. This design hides the holes of the drop beads, giving the impression that the seed bead overlay is floating over the drop beads, though it is actually quite securely in place. The cubic structure of the underlying drops is set off by the octahedral symmetry in the seed bead overlay.
