This design is available in either loom or 1 drop odd peyote. You will receive 2 patterns in both color combinations, Mint and Emerald. Please indicate if you want the 2 loom patterns or the 2 peyote patterns when you place your order. This is for the patterns only and is not for completed bracelets.
The 1st photo is the peyote version stitched by Cindy Musick. The 2nd and 3rd pictures show the bracelet, with the emerald color combination, which was peyote stitched by Julia Reynolds aka juliacraftylady, craftyladyjulia, thebarefootbeader. The 4th picture is the bracelet, with the mint color combination, which was loomed by my Pattern Tester, Georgia Grisolia. The mint wall hanging/sun catcher in the 5th photo was peyote stitched by Carolyn Ingram. The 6th photo is the peyote bracelet stitched by Mary Hobbs. They all made simple changes to my design: changed the colors, adjusted the size, tapered the ends, added aesthetic clasps, etc to make very unique pieces.
DESCRIPTION OF PATTERN:
The patterns use 7 Delica colors and it measures 1.7 x 8 inches for both the loom or peyote or desired dimensions, using size 11 Miyuki Delicas.

Be sure to contact me at beadholden [!at] msn.com to get my 4 COMPLIMENTARY PDFs, for size 11s and 15s, which list the Delica 'Safe Beads' I have compiled. I don't suggest any dyed or galvanized beads in the palettes because they fade and the color rubs off with time. I also don't use satin/silk beads because they tend to cut the beading thread and because they are thinner than other Delicas, they break very easily. It would be a shame to put money, time and effort into your piece only to have the color change, the thread cut or the beads break. I want your beaded art to last forever. The colors of my designs are only suggestions, but please remember to avoid dyed, galvanized and satin/silk beads, so you won't be disappointed later.
The 4 COMPLIMENTARY 'Safe Beads' Lists also indicate the bead finishes that will either pop or recede in your beadwork. The P or R after the Delica's Mfg # represents whether the bead (P)ops (comes forward) or (R)ecedes (fades into the background) of the design. PR or RP indicates that the bead can either pop or recede depending on the type of bead finish it is next to. Keep this in mind if you change my suggested colors.
Please take the time to read my "Policies" before placing your order.
