I'm not going to get all philosophical on ya'll. I tend to think way too deeply naturally. What I've discovered about myself, is how motivated by food I am. Many of my color choices have been made because I was craving something yummy.
Here is the perfect example. I made this cuff before I saw the cover of last months Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.
Look at this cake! I need a bucket for my drool and I haven't even mentioned delicate buttercream frosting surrounding moist, strawberry cake layers! Be still my beating heart.
This cuff was made using brick stitch with cylinder and round seed beads. Czech fire-polish beads create the center to bead around and add a bit of fringe around the bracelet. If only it tasted as good as a gourmet four layered cake!
This is such a fun design to experiment with color and texture. Here are some other fun color combinations. Triangles as well as 6/0, 11/0, 15/0, and cylinder beads were used in these cuffs.
Update: This pattern is now available in my ETSY shop http://www.etsy.com/ shop/PennyDixonDesigns . Blessings and happy beading!
