Variation on Peach Peyote Ruffled Beads Necklace


I was on a roll with the ruffled peyote beads and had planned on making another freeform netted necklace similar to the previous one. But I decided to string it instead. The original necklace was sent off to my mother for her birthday today. I hope she'll like it!!

Freeform Peyote Bracelet #2


This version of freeform peyote was done with Tammy's tutelage and is more open and less solid than my first version. It was incredible fun to make it. I started out with three colors of see beads and added a few other beads, and the focal is a very cute green dragon fly. I added a few leaves and flowers of purple iris which just make the piece pop.

Freeform Peyote Bracelet



Inspired by some freeform peyote bracelets at Tada, near our boat, I tried my hand at my first one. It was quite a lot of fun, actually, and I am really happy with the results. I was trying not to buy any more beads and to make do with what I have. I wasn't sure at all about the strong contrast of whites and teals, but I think it works. My technique will be a whole lot better the next time.
