I find design inspiration from many places, frequently turning to the beautiful ceramic designs made around the world. For this 2-drop even count peyote stitch bracelet pattern, I was inspired by a beautiful ceramic tile made in the Spanish region of Andalusia.

 

There are 2 large crosses as well as stylized leaves in the center and at each end. It uses 5 colors of Miyuki Delica beads in shades of blue on a white background.

 

The more than 2,500 small beads in this bracelet were hand-woven (no loom), 2 small beads at a time, using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, giving the piece a lovely drape, almost like fabric. It measures 1.5" (3.8cm) wide & approximately 7.25" (18.4cm) long, including the silver-tone magnetic tube clasp.

 

NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow time to reach destinations outside France. I ship quickly (often the same business day as the order is placed) but have no control over the speed -- or lack thereof -- of postal services here or around the world.
