Sweet Berries Bracelet

 You can almost taste these juicy-looking beaded “berries” that you’ll send skipping across your wrist, accompanied by optional glass leaves to complete the look. Or, choose to stitch a string of little pastel “candies” that dance along your hand in the sunlight. Maybe even try a dramatic combination of dark & light beads to create a different look. The design is simpler that it appears. This pattern uses basic stringing & embellishing to make beaded beads as you go.  This easy class is perfect for beginning beaders and lots of fun for experienced beaders. You’ll want to make one for each of your friends!

 Lots ‘O Loops Bracelet is an original design by Karmen.  Students will learn an entirely new type of construction technique:  two columns of crystal infused loops which are then stitched together using additional crystals.  A tube clasp adds a diminutive closure that does little to interrupts the beauty of the beadwork. The color palate may be monochromatic as the sample or mix and match coordinating colors.  The finished effect is a wide, flexible, and beautiful cuff that looks terrific with anything one chooses to wear!
