Meandering Cuff Bracelet

 Meandering - Pattern by Carol Dean Sharpe / Sandfibers

The second I saw it, I immediately fell in love with the geometric pattern of this bracelet. It is called "Meandering", designed by Carol Dean Sharpe of SandFibers. And if you prefer to work with loom or square stitch, there's a pattern for that too.

From someone who usually find it hard to follow a pattern, surprisingly (or not) this one was so fun to follow and see how it builds as you bead... 

The clasp I designed for it is a bezeled rectangular Swarovski Hotfix stone that I bought years ago, and now was the right time to finally use it...  

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.

Out of the Frame Cuff Bracelet

I felt like working on something that I usually don't do much - design a peyote pattern and bead from it, so I came up with this two-drop, odd count pattern of rectangle "frames" in bright colors. 

I must honestly admit that following the pattern was hard for me and I kept stringing the wrong colors in every few rows. After too many times I had to unpick the work because I hadn't noticed the mistake on time,  I almost lost my patience and I had to push myself real hard to make me finish it...  ;D 

I salute beaders who can bead this kind of bands time after time and even on a daily basis! You are my beading heroes! ;)

This beading pattern is listed for sale on my Etsy and Artfire shops.

Urban Nights Bracelet

This is a new bracelet called Urban Nights, made with Swarovski crystals and Delica beads and with a gorgeous, sparkling clasp from Claspgarten.

In this bracelet design I use a combination of stitches (square stitch and fringe stitch) to do odd-count flat peyote stitch. The pattern for this bracelet is available in my shop.

The photo does not do justice to the Delica # 251 beads I used for this bracelet. They have beautiful metallic finish in different hues of gold that really shine. Beautiful color!
