I was asked recently if my "Tammy Bracelet" pattern would work with GemDuos instead of DiamonDuos. When I designed the pattern, GemDuos didn't exist yet so I wasn't sure if they would work well. I made these two samples the other day and later discovered that I had in fact already tried the pattern with GemDuos and forgot that I'd done it. You can read about it in THIS post. I figured that I might as well show you these two colorways since I went to the trouble of making them.
Although I have two colors of matte copper seed beads in my stash that go pretty well with these GemDuos, I don't have either color in 15/0 beads. In a pinch these Duracoat Dark Mauve beads worked quite nicely. They're not really mauve at all and they're pretty darn close to being copper.
LEFT SAMPLE:
- 15/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Galvanized Dark Mauve" (4213)
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Galvanized Dark Mauve" (4213)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Galvanized Dark Mauve" (4213)
- GemDuo beads "Copper Splash Turquoise"
- GemDuo beads "Bronze Copper"
RIGHT SAMPLE:
- 15/0 seed beads Toho "Metallic Bronze Antique Gold" (225)
- 11/0 seed beads Toho "Metallic Bronze Antique Gold" (225)
- 8/0 seed beads Toho "Metallic Bronze Antique Gold" (225)
- GemDuo beads "Chalk Lazure Blue"
- GemDuo beads "Metallic Sueded Dark Green"
