A nice pen wrap

Today I had the privilege of teaching my friends granddaughter how to bead her first bracelet! It was so much fun and she absolutely loves the result and I think I’ve created a lifetime beader! She’s only 10 years old and this was her first attempt at bead weaving. I think she did pretty well.

Some bracelets just make me happy, and this is one of them so I thought I would share.

I just ordered some cylin beads as there is a 50% discount running at the moment, I’ve not tried these ones but i have tried some alternative Delica sized beads ‘FGB’s that come in the 25g bags that have been great to help buffer out my delica supplies. Anyone tried Cylin Beads?

I did a lot of beading while on vacation ( I know, rough eh 😉). Multiple patterns and styles I wanted to try. These two bracelets just don’t ‘click’ for me like other completed pieces. I need HONEST opinions from fellow artists. I can’t pin down what seems off and I need help!! I have no problem taking a piece apart to make it better, so please don’t spare the suggestions. Both are made to the pattern , just color variations and gem duo in place of kites. The patterns didn’t use transparent beads either.
