"So, you can have all kinds of patterns when you're making jewelry. You can make them up yourself, but these are a few of my favorites. This is sort of random, the beads of course, but what you do is you count. You want the same amount of beads on both sides, so that it's equal. And these are all, mostly, natural. This is a necklace made with natural stuff. These are mostly glass, and there are spacer beads on either side of the glass beads, here. And I put, I think, ten in-between, so that they're all equal when you put them on. This is an anklet, and this is all bells. But I did the same thing here, where you count in-between so that they're equal. This is smaller beads and then bigger beads and separated by colors, here. And this, I call these random. You just pick up whatever beads, whatever colors you want to use, and just put them on there with no order, really. This one is just two colors, one and then the other, and it makes a little stripe kind of thing. This is all silver with some spacer beads in the middle. This, again, these are all counted in-between; same here. And that's my main patterns that I have."
