The bracelet base is done in
Ndebele (herringbone)stitch using size 6 seed beads. I would suggest
using size 8 instead. |
| 2. |
The four curved motifs are also
done in Ndebele stitch and then sewn on. I used size 8, 11 and 15 of
gold lined white opal. The darker color is one to match the colors of
the base. FORMULA for curve=two colums of ndebele. Start with the size
8, size 11, size 12(or a smaller running size 11) and size 15. I did 28
rows of ndebele in each motif. Keep your tension tight. |
| 2a. |
The froth at the end of each
motif is a series of 3 bead picots on both sides of the end beads, then
adding a bead between each bead. Then add 3 bead picots back and forth
to make it pile up. If the explanation in the graphic
doesn't make any sense, just put a bunch of size 15 picots to make a
bunch. (GBG) |
