Bracelet of the Day: Waves of Wonder - Hematite & Amethyst

WAVES OF WONDER
  • 15/0 seed beads Toho "Metallic Hematite" (TR-15-81/c)
  • 15/0 seed beads Toho "Opaque Lavender" (TR-15-52/c)
  • 4mm fire polished beads "Light Amethyst Mirror" (FP4-111 - Nirvana Beads)

 

As I mentioned in one of my other posts about this pattern, it can also be made with smaller beads. It comes out very thin and delicate this way. I liked this color combination so well that I made one for myself and a few for Christmas presents. The fire polished beads that I used are very different. They have metallic silver on one side (the "mirror" part of the name) and clear on the other with hints of amethyst. I bought them locally and I think they're from Nirvana Beads. But, I recently saw some that are similar at Aura Crystals HERE.

The pattern is by Lanai Kinsky and you can buy it HERE.



UPDATE: If you're trying to find the pattern on Lanai Kinsky's site, look for this photo near the bottom of the page:


The name online is ""Potawatomi Wave - Number: 107"

  1. It's just beautiful. This pattern is a good candidate for me to use as necklace strands.

    1. It's definitely fine enough to use as a "chain" but will it curve without looking awkward?

  2. My plan would be to use it with a pendant, so it wouldn't have to.

  3. That sounds nice. I'm in the middle of watching a DVD that Deb Roberti sent me on how to make bezels for rivolis. It looks like fun and the instructor on the video is very good. Deb also sent lots of rivolis and chatons for me to play with.

    1. It's near the bottom of the page and the name is "Potawatomi Wave - Number: 107". For some reason she calls it a different name online than the title on the PDF file.
