New pattern uploaded: Wildflower Bracelet

I just uploaded a new pattern to my Web site: Wildflower Bracelet, $4, also available at Bead-patterns.com. For those who prefer the larger 6mm bicone crystals, this bracelet is a twist on the hana-ami motif, using larger bicones for the center and smaller 3mm fire-polished beads to fill in the gaps around the edge between the seed beads and 4mm bicones.
