The bracelet above actually was a new step for me in technique as it was more a netting than a full bracelet in Herringbone stitch but I loved doing and have bronze and lime set coming up this week. I love doing the finer techniques because the end result makes me feel as if they are jewelery from the days of old.
And this bracelet below was a real inspiration from my muse, the colors of the Teal AB delica beads go so well with the gold and the gold cubes in the center just seem to bring out the color scheme.
I am so in love with all the amazing colors that the Delica beads come in, it is an endless variety. If you love to work in Delica beads as well but can not afford the prices at retail stores I would love to share two places that I get them for a very reasonable price, Artbeads.com and StarryEyedBeads. What I am working on getting now is some of the books that teach the styles of stitches because finding easy to follow tutorials on the web is hard for me to do. I will sat AuntiesBeads, Karla Cam on Youtube is really great tho for learning how to do some of the various stitches.
