Rainbow Wave-3 Drop Peyote

 
All beads used in this bracelet are Delica Duracoat Galvanized #11 seed beads in the following hues:  Light Pewter, Pink Blush, Hot Pink, Mint Green, and Dark Sea Foam. The bracelet is finished off with a 20mm Tube Clasp with Bar in silver. 

I've discovered these new tube clasps with bar to finish off this peyote stitch bracelet. I found the clasps on Etsy at the shop "mindmyownbeadsness".  These clasps finish off the peyote bracelets in a much smoother way, then clasps I've used in the past.

Wire Coiled "Jelly Bean" Bracelet


The "Jelly Bean" Bracelet is made using Artistic Wire's Coiling Gizmo and drop beads. 

The drop beads I used in this bracelet are Cobalt Blue TR, Berry TR, Yellow TR, Crystal/Aqua and Lime Green TR. As you can imagine the color variations are limitless. 

The coiling gizmo's part in the bracelet design...
