Playing with my beads...Saturn Bracelet Samples

I tried a bunch of different color combinations with Michelle Skobel's "Saturn Bracelet" pattern. You can buy the pattern HERE (Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available). I like all of them but I prefer the bronze ones over the silver ones. Sample #7 was the first one that I made and I forgot to add it to the others when I took the group photos.

  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (447D)
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Matte Cabernet" (703)
  • 4mm fire polished beads "Amethyst"

  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (447D)
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Hybrid Oxidized Bronze Clay" (Y864)

SAMPLE #3:
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Metallic Bronze Antique Gold" (225)
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Hybrid Opaque Luster Green" (Y182)

SAMPLE #4:
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Antique Silver" (711)
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Hybrid Opaque Grey Bronze Vega" (Y862)

      That's one of my favorites too. I like this pattern because I can use some of the pretty colored 11/0 beads that I've been accumulating lately and still have enough "metal" in the bracelets to make me happy.

      I really love this. You should offer your services to other pattern designers to produce samples of their patterns. Your color choices are SO much better! When I saw this pattern, I was not interested because I really didn't like her choice of color and didn't see the potential until I saw your work.

      I think I have a knack for seeing the potential in patterns even when I don't like the colors that were used to sell them. Usually it's the shape that gets my attention as with this one. I think it has a pleasing shape. I also look very closely at the sample photos to make sure that they are made with beads that I like to work with. I very rarely buy a pattern that calls for beads that I don't already have in my stash.
