IVY BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
- DiamonDuo beads "Jet Silver Picasso"
- SuperDuo beads "Chalk Copper Picasso"
- O-Beads "Gold Matte"
This is the first in a series of patterns based on the eight beautiful bracelets that Teejay sent me for my birthday earlier this month. Click HERE to read my original post about this bracelet. Teejay created the wonderful diagrams for this pattern so it should be easy to follow.
You probably won't find the SuperDuo color that I used anywhere and the Etsy shop where I bought them no longer has them. "Chalk Lazure Blue" or "Opaque Green Luster" would be good substitutes. The "silver" in the black DiamonDuo beads is really a sage green which is nearly the same color as the SuperDuos that I used.
UPDATE: I just discovered that Aura Crystals has "Opaque Green Copper Luster" SuperDuos and that is the same color as the "Chalk Copper Picasso" beads that I used. You can buy them HERE.

I'm so excited! Can't wait to make one of these lovely bracelets. Thank you, Tee Jay and Linda!
ReplyDeleteSo very very nice. Thanks ladies.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You two have definitely outdone yourselves. Can't wait to see the other patterns too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as always!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate someone who does the homework about the bead colors they use in their designs. Not everybody envisions a beaded piece in their own colors when they see it. Color is a big thing for me, if I like something, I usually want to make it in the colors I see it in. Nothing is more frustrating than searching the world over for a particular bead based on just a picture! Thank you for sharing your gifts with me and inspiring me to continue on my own beading adventure.
ReplyDeleteI keep track of the beads that I used in my projects in case I ever want to make the same thing again. Since I already have that info, I might as well share it here. I sometimes use beads that have been discontinued or are hard to find though. If I know of sources for those beads, I try to remember to post links to them.
DeleteMuchísimas gracias por compartir tan bello trabajo!!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!I can hardly wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteIt wont let me download free pattern 😢
ReplyDeleteI just checked the link and it's working fine. There might be a slight delay before the download dialog box pops up so wait a few seconds for it. Or, you can right-click on the link and choose "Save link as...". It will ask where you want to put it and then it will save it to your computer.
DeleteCan't get to the link to download and make a donation. I'm on a cell phone. Would that make a difference?
ReplyDeleteI don't have a cell phone so I can't say if that's the cause. I just checked the link and the download is working. If you still can't get it to download on your phone you might have better luck from your computer.
DeleteAnother option is to send me an email using the form on the right and I will email the link to you. For some reason people who have trouble downloading patterns from my blog seem to be able to download them from a link in an email even though it's the same link.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful free pattern Linda!
ReplyDeleteI love the style of this bracelet with the nice DiamonDuos.
Sincerely,
Nicole
I can't find a link to the Ivy Bracelet that works. They all just sent me to a different page, but not to the pattern
ReplyDeleteI just checked the link in my post above and it's working. It doesn't go to another page, it just opens a download dialog box.
DeleteTry right-clicking the link then choose "Save link as...".
DeleteI hit click here and the pattern won't download!
ReplyDeleteTry right-clicking on the link and choose "Save Link As". The save dialog box should open.
DeleteChristine Chambers,
DeleteThe same thing was happening to me(I sometimes have no patience) So, scroll almost all the way down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a good size box that says download this pattern here.
Hopefully this helps you out!
Thank you for sharing. Always great to do a new project.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to make Ivy with silkys and honeycombs. I have found that 6mm candy and 6mm 2 hole cabochons are discontinued. I just ordered 6mm cabs on etsy for some other projects. I don't understand why they are getting rid of these beads in 6mm when there are so many patterns out there. Thanks you for sharing! ~Stacie
ReplyDeleteHi Stacie. Who is discontinuing those beads? I just checked the Czech supplier for the 2-hole cabochons and I see no indication that they've discontinued them. I've never used the 6mm Candy beads, only the 8mm ones.
DeleteYou could try the 6mm DiscDuos. They're similar to Candy beads in shape except that the sides are more squared off.
DeleteThank you for sharing 🤩
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing this one. a breeze to work up but looks so detailed. loved making it.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Debbie. I'm glad that you enjoyed making it.
DeleteHi Linda! I always end up here. lol. Wonderful exciting patterns. I can't successfully download the pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi Meganolia. I just tested the link and it is working. Try right-clicking on it and choose "Save Link As". A download dialog box should pop up.
