Red Black Peyote Beaded Cuff Bracelet - "Tendrils"

(CC86)

I have wanted to make one of these beaded cuff bracelets since forever. Since before I knew it could be done. Since before I heard of Peyote or bead-weaving. Since before I knew there were such precision small seed beads. Now I can finally put a tick to this "goal".

I have played around with beaded bracelets before but using larger seed beads. This is my first full size 11 beads and it has been fun! I drew up the squggle "tendrils" in photoshop, converted it to graph and voila! It worked out.

Some Construction Notes

This piece is done entirely using Maria George delicas, size 11. The slide-lock copper clasp is attached to the main piece as seamlessly as possible using beaded single-bead loops. The photos above show some close-up of the underside - which gives a better view of the work.

Small size: 6¼ inch (approx 16 cm)
