There are truly so many new beads becoming available, that it makes my head spin, but mostly my hands move a little faster! This is another design by Akke Jonkhof Akkesieraden, she named "Bracelet Kheopatra" taught by Sandy Taylor at Bead Street. Another very interestink name for a beautiful design. And, these new triangles - oh my. Thicker and really fun to use. They are 6mm and called Kheops. They actually have 2 holes drilled parallel through the bead. And, what I learned is that you need to pay close attention as you add them in any pattern, so you have the top of the triangle headed the right direction. Love this turquoise/purple combo. |

NEW 4-HOLE KHEOPS TRIANGLES
4/20/2015
LOTS OF SHIMMER AND SHEEN!
Pictures do not do these new silky beads justice... let me just start off by saying that...
"Simply Silky" design by Akke Jonkhof Akkesieraden, taught by Sandy Taylor at Bead Street. Using the newly available Czech 2-hole silky square angled beads and Bead Street has them! They have quite the multi-color shimmery finish--and for this bracelet, I wanted a combination that would pop, and by George... I think I've done it! The purplish sheen, coupled with the "bright" blue super duos, and purple Czech O rings are so loverly! Then I added copper 15/0 sb around the outside of the super duos to finish it off. I'm quite pleased with this one...
