My “Modular Concept” Cuff Beading Kit and Pattern…

is finally finished!  This beading pattern took longer than usual to write because the design required a graph to show the color and placement of the rectangular color blocks and patchwork embellishments that comprise the design.  So I fiddled around with beading software to create that aspect of the pattern…the learning curve added extra days, but I’m pleased with the results.  I love this bracelet and the colorful little rectangular blocks that make up the design and the embellishments that compliment them!  This comfortable mixed media cuff measures 1 1/4″ in width and has a lovely weight and drape.  It reminds me of a magic carpet!  If you’re looking for a beading project that has a lot of color and embellishments and is really fun to make, this kit is for you! Clear and concise step-by-step instructions are accompanied by large, full color photos to show you everything you need to know to complete the project. The kit includes Japanese seed beads in seventeen colors, Swarovski crystal Lochrosen rhinestones and crystal pearls, a beautiful bronze metal clay clasp handmade by me, and tiny lustrous polymer clay square “sequin” embellishments also made by me.  A 4″x6″ color photo is also included.  It is available in my Etsy shop.
