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.

Bracelet of the Day: For Your Eyes Only - Alabaster Blue Luster
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
- 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.
You can buy Akke Jonkhof's "For Your Eyes Only" bracelet pattern in her Etsy shop, HERE. Queen City Bead on Etsy has ZoliDuos as well as IrisDuos. My blog readers get a 10% discount by using the code "Bead10".
