A Spiky Bracelet

I'm demonstrating bead weaving in a couple of week's time so I've been looking through books and magazines (a favourite occupation) for something a bit different to show.  This bracelet in a recent edition of Bead and Button took my fancy and as I'd bought some small dagger beads recently I decided to have a go.  It is made using Peyote stitch which is one I enjoy using. As the weekend weather isn't looking too promising I think I will probably spend much of the time going through my bead stash to sort out a couple of projects and get them started ready for the demonstrations - I'll need something reasonably straightforward so that I can talk to people and carry on working without making any mistakes in the pattern.

  4. That is really impressive. I've never even seen bead weaving before & I just love that inside. Enjoy the magazines & looking through the bead stash.
