New pattern using Czechmates bricks or Rulla beads

New pattern for sale, Brique Bands, $5.50 at AroundTheBeadingTable.com and Bead-Patterns.com:


This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for two bands that use size 8 seed beads and either Czechmates brick beads (first and third bands in the photo) or Rulla beads (second and fourth bands in the photo). Because Rulla beads aren’t quite as wide as Czechmates brick beads, the seed beads sit closer together and may buckle a smidge.They certainly are pretty and fun to work with, though.
