Description

(2018) 3.5"x3.5", size 11 Delica beads (bone white ab, light amber-lined, silver-lined amber ab, taupe-lined, dark metallic bronze, matte metallic bronze, 14k gold) size 15 seed beads (14k gold), matte bronze iris Magatama beads, fireline.

For this geometric bracelet I did not make any horns and only worked with two layers of wings. I started with a RAW band and worked the central panel of hexagons in a single layer. On either side of it I then built up a double layer of Peyote, one in bone white with dark hexagons, and another outer layer in dark metallic bronze with light hexagons. Each layer ends in 5 horns that are offset from one another and accented at the tips with a Magatama drop each and edged with a row of smaller gold seed beads.

The whole thing reminds me of the layers of honey-comb inside a beehive. Despite its spiny look the bracelet is super comfortable to wear. It also prompted my husband to remark that recently my beads have started to look like they're going to war!
