CLAUDIA CALI BEAD CHAIN
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki/Czech "Full Labrador" (27000)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki/Czech "Full Labrador" (27000)
- Cali beads "Full Labrador"
- SuperDuo beads "Metalust Hot Pink"
I made this eye-popping colorway because these hot pink SuperDuos were about the only color I have that goes well with these silver Cali beads. I don't usually wear such bright colors so I assumed that I didn't have anything to wear this set with. As it turns out, I have one top that has exactly this shade of hot pink on it. There is a wide stripe near the bottom and also a thinner stripe higher up that is kind of hard to see in the photo below. In the photo the top has some brass "coins" sewn here and there on the front but I removed them shortly after buying it in a thrift shop. Because the brass bits are gone, the silver beads in the bracelet will look just fine with my top.

Yesterday I blogged HERE about metallic seed beads and showed you sample swatches of the colors that I use the most. Today I am posting examples of bracelets that I've made using each color. There is only one seed bead color that I haven't used to make a bracelet and that is Miyuki's Duracoat Dark Gold (4203).
