When I designed my Wheels of Fortune bracelet, I tried to find a way to avoid the less enjoyable part of sewing the round components together. I often give up on an idea for a design if it would involve many separate parts that needs to be connected and too many threads that needs to be hidden. I played with the basic design and then came up with a rather easy way to do it. It's actually a way that can be easily implemented in other symmetric designs.
But I can't tell you exactly how to do it, because the project of this bracelet is published in the latest (June/July 2011) issue of Beadwork magazine. So you would might be interested in getting a copy of the Beadwork magazine, which includes more than a few other wonderful projects; Quick and Easy bonus section and the fun, inspiring Pattern Play section!

Merci! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bracelet and you are so right, it's the connections and zillions of loose ends that can drive us crazy. A GENIUS solution, Smadar!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marsha! I am glad that you find this solution interesting, it makes things so much easier.. :)
ReplyDeleteSmadar, I just got the Beadwork magazine at work today, (a little late perhaps, but still just on time)and I was SO very excited to recognize your name and design in it!!! Congratulations! Your bracelet rocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, WhiteRabbit! :) And I thought that living outside the US, I am always last to receive my copy of the magazine... ;)
