2-HOLE BRICKS - SWITCHING GEARS TO A TONED-DOWN, MODULAR DESIGN

It just seemed like the right time to try colors I wouldn't normally choose, and this selection (thank you Sandy Taylor!) fit the bill.  This combination is wonderful with denim, which I happened to be wearing that day to class!  This is a design from artist and Starman Trendsetter Svetlana Einy, called "Shadow Valley".  A fun pattern using 2-hole bricks, coupled with two colors of 2-hole triangles, 11.0 and 15.0 seed beads.   This bracelet feels great on the wrist - light, flat and airy!  At first glance, the directions in the pattern are truly daunting, but it really comes together very well, as long as you pay attention to the direction of your beading, left or right.  If you forget, say... on one row, you might just have your triangles going down under instead of upright!  Ha ha ... Not that I would know anything about that.
 



 
My closure is a button/loop.  I embellished the brass flower with a Czech glass star flower and 11.0 and 15.0 sb.
