Once again, I used Ella's lovely "Fina Bracelet" pattern which you can buy HERE. I was determined to find a way to use these bright silver Arcos and Minos beads with this pattern. None of my silver seed beads go well with this silver and that would have been way too much silver anyway. These hematite seed beads were just the thing. They outline the details of the pattern and go well with the cool silver color. I think that the silvery purple accent beads add just the right touch of color too. Below are some sites where you can find the Toho hybrid beads:

Linda. You are doing really beautiful work with these beads.I'm still working on getting everything together to explain the bead board. HaHa...Not enough time in my day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marge. I know just what you mean about not enough hours in the day.

Marge has figured out how to make her own bead board, Teejay. It's one of those that has soft edges to keep the beads from rolling on the floor.
