Description (2007) app. 3"x 5"for each panel, Size 15 seed beads (14k white gold, 14k light gold, matte black) nylon thread.

This one was an art trade with Lady Blacksword. I used her design of a Celtic knot to make a pattern for two insets for a pair of leather bracers. [link]

She traded me a fabulous jet carving with a set amber cab in exchange.

Thank you! You want to stay away from the galvanized ones, they are truly crap and have ruined me many a good piece by flaking off. The best ones are pretty pricey, but they last forever. Check here [link] #s 191 and 194 are the real deal!

You're very welcome. I know the heartache of having a wonderful piece with lots of time and care going into it ruined by a stupid lack of quality. Your beadwork is worth more!

Ha, thank you! It may be a while before I can invest that much in beads, but this gives me something to look forward to!! Less than a year left of school!!

They're gorgeous (very delicate in the knotwork and colors) and so is that pendant. I don't know who got the better deal! I'm sure they'll be well loved.

Very beautiful!!! I love celtic art! So what is the purpose of a panel? Can you make it into a bracelet or something?

OMFG all that is seed beads?! That is just insane. I know you did the braclet set, but now its kinda sinking in how fast you do these. That is awesome.
