Round Lace and The Saraguro Hojas Bracelet

Few weeks ago I visited Sandra D. Hapenny's web site.

I found there a free pattern for a bracelet called "Round Lace", which I really liked. The technique was new for me.

As I was weaving the round lace, I suddenly realized that this new technique was probably the same technique used in the Saraguro Hojas bracelet – a bracelet that I really wanted to make but I didn't have any instructions or scheme for it, and didn't succeed to figure out how it was made.
I decided to give it a try and it worked!

I made the Hojas bracelet, but instead of using seed beads, I used bugle beads.
