I have never had a female dog. But I was inspired by the coming of spring this year to create a motif with a feminine, delicate feel. I was at a loss for a name. So I asked my friends at Bead Patterns Boutique to suggest names. I gave them the same challenge given to Dr. Seuss with each of his books. I asked them to use the words "heart" and/or "lace" in their names. The name I chose came from Carol Delong. Thanks for helping me describe this repeatable, adjustable collar motif in true Seussian style.

On the pattern pages, I have provided you with:

• a full-color, graph-style beading chart for the beaded band as shown in the photo
• a full-color, graph-style beading chart for a single repeat of the motif
• color keys with suggested Delica bead colors and bead counts for the band as shown in the photo and for the single motif
• instructions to help you attach your beaded band to the collar of your choice
• a color photo of the finished collar
• Peyote Word Chart is also available

Approximate Finished size:

As show in the photo: 12 inches long x 5/8 inches wide
Single Motif: 3/8 inches long x 5/8 inches wide

1 inch wide collar of your choice
