2-in-1 Beading Tutorial - Bracelet Double Diamond and Lacy Braid

I so love it when it happens to me, that when I design something new, the design evolves and I see more options hidden in it.  As always, I am happy to share any design ideas I have for the same project, so Lacy Braid & Double Diamond Bracelets is actually a 2-in-1 bracelet pattern, which includes all information you need to know for making the two bracelet designs. This is a fun project and I think you will love the 3D profile of the Double Diamond bracelet!

The Double Diamond bracelet is made with seed beads, Superduo beads  and Swarovski crystal beads. 

Lacy Braid bracelet is made with Superduo beads (Twin beads can work here, too) and seed beads only, but if you like the Bling, you can substitute some seed beads for crystal beads... 

The tutorial is available in both my Etsy and Artfire shops.

New Beading Tutorial - Adina, Aliza & Atara - Three Necklaces / Ropes

I can hardly believe it myself, but I finally finished the tutorial I started working on back in September 2013 and discovered it on my computer not long ago...
Somehow, while trying to work on two tutorials at a time (the other one was the Nona Bangle tutorial, a design I just had to make right away after getting filled with inspiration from one of Contemporary Geometric Beadwork beautiful bracelet designs), I had completely forgotten about this one.  I guess I should always work on one project at a time, no matter what distracts me...

The tutorial is for three necklaces / ropes / chains (whatever you prefer to call them) in different thicknesses, beadwoven with Japanese seed beads, Superduo beads, fire polished beads...

I gave the necklaces Hebrew names, that pretty much describe them: Adina, Aliza & Atara. If you are you wondering what is the meaning of these names, here it is:

Adina means fine, dainty, delicate… Aliza means jovial, happy, cheerful… and Atara means a diadem, a crown…

Another tutorial I listed today in my shops is the Hojas Lace bracelet - it is an old bracelet pattern that was originally published in the October 2009 issue of Beadwork magazine as "Pewter Lace".

And last thing.... The pre-order sale of "ShangriLa" is still on... You can purchase the tutorial for it at 20% discount until April 19. I will send the PDF file by email after that date.
