Description
OK, so I've been doing a few commissions lately and decided to treat myself. So this bracelet is for me...YAY.The pattern uses swarovski pearls, swarovski crystals and seed beads. It is my first attempt at right-angle weave and crossweave technique.
The pattern is from Bead & Button magazine and is by Deborah Farrand. This is one of the few patterns in a beading magazine that I loved everything about, including the colours they used.
I made a bridal version for my friend who is getting married, but wasn't sure if she would like it. Suffice to say she loved it, and made off with it before I could get a pic. However I should be able to get a nice shot of it at the wedding.

Thank you! I did it a while ago now, but as I recall it took me about 5 hours because it was a new pattern and I had to pull it out a few times.

that doesn't sound to bad. When I saw this one I remembered that I have the magazine with that pattern. Somewhere >_<; I need to find it esp since my friend wants me to use this pattern to make brides' maids gifts.

Thank you! Beadweavers have a particular type of personality...how shall I say...bordering on insane! It also helps if you can swear like a trooper.

It was actually a Bead & Button Special - Brilliant Crystal Jewelry 2. Looks like it was published around June 2009. The article was called X's and O's. Hope this helps.
