Petalicious Cuff--Work in Progress

I finally managed to take some pictures today of the Petalicious Cuff that I'm making (designed by Melanie Potter). I have managed to do a few other quickie pieces (rings, earrings, and bracelets) and I'll post those later, but these are pictures of my "work in progress." You can see this cuff and Melanie Potter's other pieces at

I promise I haven't quit beading! I've made a bunch of rings and a bunch of earrings and I'll take pictures of those soon, but what I've REALLY been working on is Melanie Potter's Petalicious Cuff. You can see it here:

I will try to take some "work-in-progress" pictures, but I usually stink at that, so that's why I posted the link. You know how sometimes when you're working on a project that is going to take forever and you just get sick to death of it? This bracelet isn't like that! :) The base consists of right angle weave and chevron stitches, which are two of my favorite. The pattern is very well written, so I don't have to think really hard (which is a good thing) and right now I'm really just enjoying the heck out of it! I'm almost finished with the base. I'm a very slow beader and I'm beading even slower on this because I REALLY don't want to have to rip any stitches out! Wish me luck!

Peyote Bracelet

This is my variation of the bracelet that was in the June 2005 issue of Bead and Button. The one in Bead & Button had leaves, flowers, and even a ladybug (I think) covering the clasp...this one doesn't. Also, I changed the clasp. If you have any comments, please e-mail me at wowmaw@aol.com!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Bracelet

This is my design that has been published in the 2010 Beading Bead-a-Day Calendar. It's a Right Angle Weave (RAW) bracelet embellished with 6mm Comet Argent Light Swarovski Crystals. This bracelet has some serious sparkle! :)

Rose Garden Bracelet

This bracelet is made from a pattern by Glenda Payseno (http://www.lulu.com/glendasbooks). I'm not sure what stitch this is...maybe daisy chain variation or netting variation?

Flat Cellini Bracelet

I made this a LONG time ago. It's fun to make, but you have to remember to pull really tight.

Hematite Two-Drop Peyote

This is pretty self-explanatory...lol. It's a two drop peyote bracelet made with hematite cubes and whatever Delica is called gunmetal or hematite. Then I did a braided rope edge using sterling and gunmetal 15/0s.
