Alternating Lines Bracelet Pattern

After many requests, I wrote a new tutorial for an old bracelet I made back in 2008 and I named it "Alternating Lines".

The pattern uses a unique way to do odd count peyote stitch, which also make working with bugle beads and reinforcing them quick and easy.

Dramatic SuperDuo Bracelet

This is my new bracelet design, made with SuperDuo and seed beads. I had so much fun designing and working on this project, and I love the texture created with just those two types of beads! This is exactly the kind of project I needed in order to make me feel relaxed in beading again - it works up fast and is not too complicated...
A tutorial is available in both my Artfire and Etsy shops. In this design I combine two beading stitches to complete rows of these two-hole beads fast and easy!

If you are wondering if Twin beads will also do for this project - they might work if you pick the uniform ones.. and please consider that there might be some slight differences in measurements when using twin beads.

Oriental Lace Bracelet

Thank you everyone who took the time to answer the poll on the right side bar here! I really appreciate it!

This is my new bracelet I named "Oriental Lace" . I was once asked how I got to think of my designs -  the idea and inspiration for this bracelet design came from a beautiful fabric pattern I saw in Interfilier article about fashion trends for Summer 2010.

I fell in love with the pattern and just had to create something similar in beadweaving.
It was time consuming, as always, when it comes to designing something new, but as much fun playing with different beads size in different stitches until I found the right way to stitch the desired pattern. I then spent some more time stitching a few samples in different colors, improving ans simplifying the beadwoven pattern until I found the one that worked best. I just love this process!
