Bracelet of the Day: Waves of Wonder - Garnet

WAVES OF WONDER
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Bronze" (TR-11-221/c)
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Cream Opaque" (11-493)
  • 6mm fire polish beads "Garnet"
Here is Waves of Wonder in another color combination. (UPDATE: This pattern is no longer available) I made this bracelet so long ago that I don't remember what the fire polish beads were called and I didn't write it down anywhere. I found some that look the same on the Beadaholique site HERE. I do remember that they were some of the very first fire polished beads I ever bought back when I first started beading. I got them on my first visit to Spring Beads in Old Town Spring. I remember that I also bought these two colors that day:

4mm "Iris Blue Milky Dark Peridot":


4mm "Matte Brown Iris":



Being so new to beading I was awed that there could be such beautiful beads. I used the aqua ones to make a bracelet for myself and these earrings for a friend:


I'll post the bracelet as a Bracelet of the Day sometime.

I bought these earrings quite a few years ago and the funny thing is, until I took the photo of them yesterday, I never noticed that they had put them on silver earring wires. I've now switched them to some bronze wires.

      I posted about those earrings here: http://craftyinspirationbylinda.blogspot.com/2014/03/looking-for-elusive-earring-pattern.html. I haven't been able to track down a pattern online anywhere so I figured out how to make them on my own. Since they're not my original creation, I can't post my tutorial here.

      What happens when you try? I can't recall if I've ever ordered from there or not. I bought my Nancy Peterson patterns through Lulu and a friend bought the Waves of Wonder pattern for me. The site apparently worked for her.

      I just checked and the pattern is still listed on that page. The patterns are listed alphabetically. Look for: Potawatomi Weave Waves of Wonder - #107.

    I went to the link provided and was not able to find this bracelet pattern anywhere. I even searched by name alphabetically with absolutely no success. I even searched for project 107 and no results.

      I contacted the designer back in February and she told me that she was updating her website. After so many months, it looks like she has decided not to sell patterns anymore. You could try contacting her: http://www.lanaikinsky.com/contact.php
