Reverse Magic Bracelet

Look carefully!  You are not seeing double but are looking at a reversible bracelet.  One side has pearls and the other has crystals.  How clever!
Another right angle weave basic core bracelet that has been embellished to the hilt!

Cassandra

A right angle weave (RAW) bracelet pattern by Marcia DeCoster. This bracelet was made on a bead cruise to Alaska.  Marcia was one of the instructors teaching this beautiful bracelet which includes pearls and crystals.  Thank you Marcia!

Purple lariat

I saw a similar lariat and got inspired by the right angle weave (RAW) of this design.  It is a triangular RAW embellished with drop beads.  The pendant hangs nicely with an amethyst bead in a brick stitch design highlighted with crystals.

Urchin

This design was originally designed by Marcia DeCoster.  I enlarged it slightly to give as a gift.  The green crystals catch the light as they hang from the necklace.

Urchin

Another Marcia Decoster creation.  I am slowly making my way through her book trying out the different patterns.  I am on a RAW roll; not available at any sushi bar!  The pendant is a lovely beaded bead with crystals.  The shape takes on a sea-like creature.  Originally meant to be wore with the chain going through the hole of the beaded bead.  I decided it was prettier hanging this way.  The chain matches the feel of the bead and is done in a simple spiral with crystals.

Abacus

This is a pattern by Marcia DeCoster called Abacus.  It is done in size 11 and 15 seed beads.  The center portion is done in RAW with tiny turquoise bits.  I've embellished it with matching seed beads.  This project may be headed for the scissors; not sure I love it.

Infusion

This fun floral bracelet is done on a RAW bracelet form.  All the flowers are done in Ndebele stitch.  Only one flower is different.  Can you find it?

DeCoster pendant

Thank you to Marcia DeCoster for this lovely RAW technique pattern.  I actually hung it upside down choosing not to hang a stone from the diamond shaped portion.  It is a double sided pendant.

Circuit Ole

When I was gifted 13 polymer clay faces, I knew immediately what I wanted to make.  A circus of beaded clowns based on the performance artistry of Cirque du Soleil!  They all have silly hats, beaded bodies and magatama bead feet.  Their tent is a recycled DVD holder.

Crystal RAW

I seem to be stuck on right angle weave this month and decided to do a diagonal pattern with crystals.  The change in color in subtle yet enough to catch one's eye.

Assymetry bracelet

Assymetry bracelet - A RAW pattern that has been embellished on both sides.  2 in 1 bracelet depending on the mood of the wearer.
