SuperDuo Lace Bands - Jade & Brick


SUPERDUO LACE BANDS
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • DiscDuo beads "Matte Jade"
  • SuperDuo beads "Satin Metallic Brick"


Before making today's bracelet, I made four different samples in this colorway and chose my favorite. Below are the samples along with the bead info for each of them.



  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • 7mm CzechMates 2-hole cabochons "Turquoise"
  • SuperDuo beads "Satin Metallic Brick"

While I liked the shiny finish on the cabochons, I think they are a little too big for this pattern. They caused the seed beads to go all wonky. 



This is the same as today's bracelet.


  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Light Pewter" (4221)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Light Pewter" (4221)
  • DiscDuo beads "Matte Jade"
  • SuperDuo beads "Satin Metallic Brick"

This sample is the same as today's bracelet except that I used "Light Pewter" seed beads. I decided not to use them because they are much too bright for the colors of the rest of the beads.



  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
  • Honeycomb beads "Splash Turquoise Green"
  • SuperDuo beads "Satin Metallic Brick"

I really wanted to use these cool Honeycomb beads but decided that the copper on them covered up a little too much of the turquoise. You can see it pretty well in my close-up photo but not so much at actual size.

"SuperDuo Lace Bands" is by Deb Roberti and you can buy it HERE at Around the Beading Table or HERE in her Etsy shop. I got the SuperDuos from Red Panda HERE. I got the DiscDuo beads HERE at Supply Emporium. You'll find the Honeycomb beads HERE at Queen City Bead.
