Bracelet of the Day: Duo Candy - Violet Luster

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 8mm 2-hole Candy beads "Chalk Lumi Green"
• SuperDuo beads "Opaque Violet White Luster"

I previously mentioned this bracelet design in THIS post after seeing a bracelet for sale in an Etsy shop. There is no pattern available but I was able to adapt the "Duo Kheops" pattern by Marina Beads quite easily using Candy beads instead of Kheops. Click HERE to buy that pattern. I should have been working on my Christmas beading but I had just made a couple of these bracelets and decided to go ahead and make two more for myself in a couple of new colorways. I'll be blogging about the second bracelet tomorrow.

After making today's bracelet, I remembered making some "Gypsy Earrings" in a similar colorway. I had given those earrings away as a gift and I wanted a pair for myself. I only had to change the 6mm druks to a color that matches the Candy beads in my bracelet. Read THIS post for more information about the "Gypsy Earrings". Below you can see the first pair that I made:
