Tampa Earrings & Bracelet Set
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
- SuperDuo beads "Crystal Bronze Pale Gold"
- SuperDuo beads "Pastel Cream"
- 3mm fire polished beads "Mirror Gold"
I blogged about the bracelet back in March, HERE. I originally made the bracelet in my size but I've decided to give it to someone for Christmas so I added one more motif to make it long enough. While I had all of the beads out yesterday, I went ahead and made these matching earrings.
This is an adaptation of the bracelet pattern that you can buy on Etsy HERE.

Bracelet of the Day: Paloma's Path - Arctic Blue & Silver
PALOMA'S PATH BRACELET
- 15/0 seed beads Miyuki/Czech "Crystal Full Labrador" (27000)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki/Czech "Crystal Full Labrador" (27000)
- SuperDuo beads "Satin Metallic Arctic Blue"
- 3mm druks "Silver"
While searching the internet for ZoliDuo ideas, I came across this pretty bracelet at BumblebeadCrafts on Etsy. Although I like the ZoliDuo version very much, I especially love the SuperDuo version. It only calls for three kinds of basic beads and I have so many more SuperDuo colors in my stash than ZoliDuos. It's a little hard to tell this from the photos online but this is a very delicate, narro bracelet because it's made with 15/0 seed beads. If you have trouble working with such tiny beads, this isn't the pattern for you. Otherwise, it's not difficult to make and it's a very comfortable bracelet to wear.
You can buy this pattern HERE. I got these silver 15/0 seed beads HERE at Red Panda. They are currently out of them in 8/0 but I only used two of them to attach my clasp and the pattern doesn't call for them.

- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
- ZoliDuo beads "Alabaster Blue Luster"
- IrisDuo beads "White Lila Vega Luster"
This is my final "For Your Eyes Only" bracelet and it's the one that I first blogged about HERE. As you can see, I had enough of the blue ZoliDuos to make a complete bracelet in this colorway.
