FLORAL BOUQUET!

,I named this bracelet Floral Bouquet. Colorful 4mm Swarovski Crystals surround this Beauty. The bracelet core is made using Czech 4mm Fire- polished beads and size 11 seed beads.Though I'd like to make claims to owning this creation, I can not. recently looking through my many beading magazines, I found a bracelet similar to mine. Designers name is Bonnie Clewans,  Beadwork Magazine 2005. If you find the pattern I hope you will have as much fun making this as I did. Ladybeadress!

HERRINGBONE BRACELET!

The bracelet is made using The Herringbone Stitch, also known as The Ndebele Stitch.The stitch is somewhat difficult to learn, but once you get the hang of it you'll be making beautiful bracelets. I used #11Seed Beads and 4mm Swarovski Crystals. The bracelet is so elegant and shows a most interesting patten of beads. I do not know the name of the designer or where you can find the pattern.
