Beadweaving-A New Love

Copper Crystals Beaded Bracelet

While I was visitng/vacationing in Arizona over the past summer, I picked up a new love, working with seed beads. This is a relatively simple weave, but it took me some time to learn it, and get my tension right. It is made with 11/0 transparent and sparkling beige and brown seed beads, topped with small, copper colored glass crystals. It measures 7", and fastens with a gold plated toggle clasp. If you like this, it is available in my HAF Shop: http://handmadeartistsshop.com/ixxocart/products/Copper_Crystals_and_Beaded_Bracelet-1496-1.html

    I love the colors you chose for this. Lovely design. Seed beads are so very tiny to work with.

    I absolutely love this bracelet! Seed beads are difficult to work with, as you mentioned. Tightening the strand enough so the beads don't appear loose, but loose enough that the beads aren't scraping up against each other is difficult to get used to in the beginning. Strangely enough... this bracelet is making me yearn for a cup of coffee haha... must be the colors!
