Swan Princess / Ugly Duckling
by Annie Scarborough

I beaded this amulet purse as a sample piece for Annie Scarborough's 1998 peyote stitch pattern book, Beadtime Stories. The magical Swan Princess is depicted on the front, with the Ugly Duckling on the back. My kind of story!

Because of the fairy tale theme, I wanted a Victorian look, so I used 11° seed beads to simulate the texture of bead knitted bags, and I used a typical looped and twisted fringe.
