Hi everyone! I wanted to share my two newest bracelets. 😊 I stitched both of them lengthwise in peyote. It's a bit more challenging than the traditional way because the rows are so long, but using a starter strip made it much easier. I made the house bracelet first. I'd been wanting to design one for a long time because I love little houses. Since I wanted the walls to have nice, straight lines, I decided to weave it lengthwise in peyote. Then I used many of the same colors to create a simpler striped design.

This is a Texas bluebonnet field done with peridot and tanzanite.

Working with another design for I watch. I just get inspiration from Pinterest and run with it.

Maybe I just lack imagination but I liked the simplicity of the beads in the diamonds that don’t have a cabochon. I’m not crazy about the blue seed beads on the points but they matched the blue delicas perfectly. Note, the cabochons are blue but they can look purple or gold from the side.
