Description
(2019), 9"x4", Size 15 seed beads (silver-lined chartreuse, bronze iris) and size 11 seed beads (matte bronze, green-lined topaz, transparent purple lined, silver-lined amber, silver-lined orange) worked in Ndebele stitch, closure beads, focal glass art bead, fireline.I really went wild with the color scheme on this one - who'd think you could put purple, orange and spinach green into the same piece and get away with it! The gorgeous focal bead was a big inspiration here and gave this bracelet its name

Ah, thanks, I had a look at her page, some really pretty things.
I love how well your bracelet and the bead are matched. And your fascinating beadwork - did you use different sized beads to get the wavy effects?

Thanks! Yes, the strip is worked from a mix of size 15 and size 11 seed beads, so the ripples occur quite naturally.

Thank you! I agree. It was such a cool color combo in the focal bead I just had to try and do something fun with it with the seed beads...

Same here. I was really apprehensive when I started to bead, but it seemed to come together okay.
