CINDY BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Toho "Transparent Montana Gold Luster" (204)
- 8/0 seed beads Toho "Transparent Montana Gold Luster" (204)
- 4mm druks "Matte Apollo Milky Pink"
- Silky beads "Alabaster Vega Luster"
For information about where this pattern came from, read THIS post. This is the second in a series of nine "Cindy" bracelets that I'll be posting over the next week or so as I make them. I ended up making a different clasp loop for this one to get the length right. I decided that a longer loop would look nicer than extra jump rings. I'm finding more and more opportunities to use the "Montana Gold Luster" seed beads. It's such a pretty color. It seems to be a combination of silver, copper and gold all at once somehow. They're blue beads but I don't think they'd look right in a blue bracelet. I guess I won't know until I try though.
I made three more "Cindy" bracelets last night and I hope to take the photos later today.

ReplyDeleteI definitely need this bracelet. The colours are awesome. I will have to sell the farm soon to pay for all these beads. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis one uses hardly any beads, Marge. I like patterns that use Silky beads sparingly.
DeleteHa ha ha ha....I have gone all through your blog and bought almost all the beads that you have used.I do this for a hobby and love buying beads online. I started beading a little over a year ago and I have a nice little stash already. I'll never use all these beads. LOL
