DEMOISELLE BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Toho "Antique Bronze" (223)
- 8/0 seed beads Toho "Antique Bronze" (223)
- 6mm 2-hole cabochons "Alabaster #29434"
- SuperDuo beads "Bronze Pale Gold"
- 3mm Czech pearls "Antique Gold"
- 3mm bicones "Light Topaz AB" (Chinese)
This time I thought I'd try using 6mm 2-hole cabochons even though the pattern calls for DiscDuo beads or Honeycomb beads. As you can see, the cabs work very nicely. I also used Toho seed beads this time so I only needed 16 of the cabs. I used 3mm Chinese bicones instead of fire polished beads down the center because the yellow/gold color goes well with the other beads. I don't know if Swarovski 3mm bicones will work though because they're very tiny and might fall through the gaps. I think that Swarovski 4mm bicones might be a little too big but I haven't tried either size. I love how the bicones look like sparkly little diamonds.

This looks so different to the ones you did yesterday but equally lovely. Thanks for the link to the other tutorial too.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty amazing how different bracelets can look depending on the colors that are used.
