The Brick stitch is a very beautiful and majestic stitch. It is very versatile and a favorite of many beaders. You can make a diamond-shaped earring if you use either all seed beads or all bugle beads. Another option is the triangle shape which usually works best when seed beads and bugle beads are both used and a fringe is added at the bottom row. Fringes can be very elaborate and you can incorporate some really nice designs with your fringe. Detailed fringe techniques are covered in Chapter Two.
