Urban Strolls Bracelet Tutorial

 I was exploring bugle beads lately, and these two are one of the new patterns I created using them. 

Urban Strolls is a relatively soft bracelet made with  2x6 and 2x3 uniform bugle beads and with Japanese seed beads. The bracelet can be made in different widths and of course, lengths, using different types of accent beads.

The tutorial is available (only) in my Etsy shop

Another bracelet project with bugles is coming soon, so stay tuned ;-)

Festoon Fancy Bracelet

I have a box of unfinished projects - most of them are experiments of ideas that needed to be worked on further. I started many years ago and, got stuck, put it in that UFO box and forgot all about it.

In order to get myself beading as I used to, I sometimes go through my boxed of beads to wake up my inspiration and I found this bracelet base design. As it happens sometimes when you revisit a project, an idea or a solution that helps you go on with it pops up, just like that.... So much joy when it happens!

So here's the finished project - Festoon Fancy Bracelet - three variations of the many it can offer: wide with Swarovski crystals, wide with Tila beads and narrower with just seed beads .

The tutorial for it is listed in my Etsy shop.

Shirring Rows Bracelet

I didn't have much patience to go through my bead stash (too much on my mind right now), so I decided to bead something with just seed beads. You know, like we used to do many years ago, when there was a small variety of beads in the market... Do you believe how far we've gone since then?.... 

This is Shirring Rows bracelet, a very textured one, like I love to design. In the tutorial I wrote for Shirring Rows, I included instructions for a combination of techniques to end the bracelet in a symmetrical way, which you can use in other beading projects that involves Herringbone or Ladder stitches.

Hope you like it!

New Beading Kit - Gazing Stars Bracelet

Created in the end of 2015, after 18 months of delay I finally managed to create my first beading kit. This is Gazing Stars bracelet, made with Japanese seed beads and Swarovski crystal stones and beads. 

The beautiful name of the bracelet was suggested over Facebook by my friend Renne Drake, who is lucky to get a kit from me as a thank you gift. Thanks again, Renne!  

At the moment there's only a limited number of kits in each color pallette. The kit includes all Japanese seed beads, Swarovski crystal beads and components that are needed, a clasp and a printed tutorial. Other things needed and aren't included are: 6lb fireline beading thread, beading needles and scisosrs.

Make purchase through my Etsy shop.

As I said, this is the first kit I offer, so if you have any questions or remarks, please leave your comment or contact me directly.

Happy Beading!
