new FREE pattern: Cupola Bracelet

This pattern is a variation of my Pyramid Band but it was designed for 12mm Czech Glass Hex-shaped 2-Hole Beadstuds.

However, it also works great with size 12mm, 8mm and 6mm Czech Pyramid Beadstuds (shown below):

Silky Stacker Blues

Beaded up some more Silky Stackers this week. My free Silky Stackers pattern is available by clicking HERE or on the photo below.

The Silky beads I used in these stacker bracelets are from RedPandaBeads.com. They are different colors on each side, which at first, I have to say, annoyed me, and then I realized that the color switch gives you some lovely options.

The top Stacker in the photo below uses Jet Azuro, which is black on one side and an electric blue on the other. The bottom stacker uses Lavender Valentine—bronze on one side and a light blue-lavender on the other. Exact beads used are linked below.
