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.

This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for two Tila bead bracelets: one using seed beads, bugle beads and Tila beads (left) and a second using seed beads, round beads and Tila beads (right). Note, I use 4mm tiger eye beads for the "round bead" but any 4mm bead will work: bicone crystals, fire-polished beads, round druks, etc. It's a very versatile pattern and one of my favorites so far.
