LIZZIE BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Matte Metallic Bronze" (2006)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Matte Metallic Bronze" (2006)
- 6mm druks "Etched Stone"
- 4 druks "Etched Stone"
I found these "Etched Stone" druks at Supply Emporium and just had to have them. Once I had them, I needed to find just the right bracelet pattern to make with them. The pattern had to use both 4mm and 6mm beads and Teejay's "Lizzie Bracelet" was just the thing. "Lizzie" was inspired by Deb Roberti's "Bobble Bangles" and is a variation of Teejay's "Lizbeth Band" which is a free pattern that you can download HERE. With "Lizzie", 6mm druks replace the SuperDuos that run down the center. Because the druks are so much larger than SuperDuos, they change the shape of the bracelet somewhat. I plan to make a free pattern for "Lizzie" one of these days.
If you want to buy some of these unusual druks, you'll find the 4mm ones HERE and the 6mm beads are HERE at Supply Emporium.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie.
DeleteWhat a lovely variation on Liz and your color way is striking too. I really must track down these beads.

Thanks. There are links to the beads in my post above.
DeleteJust placed my order for some etched beads. I think I've seen them before but they didn't catch my eye until I saw your great design. Suddenly I'm thinking of all kinds of ways to use them. I also picked up a few other items I couldn't resist - she's always got such a great selection.
DeleteCheers!
