Lacy Butterflies Peyote Bracelet

This gorgeous light-catching peyote bracelet is from a design by Lorraine Coetzee.  When I first saw the pattern I knew that I had to tackle it.  With 26 colors of Delica beads, it was not easy to decipher the original pattern.  I gave ever color a letter of the alphabet and re-created the pattern on peyote graph paper with letters instead of colored squares.  It took a few days to get it right but it made the beading go alot smoother having the new graphs.  This bracelet is just so beautiful with all the shades of gold and pinks and tans.  They shimmer and give the wings movement.  It has a peyote tube toggle and loop closure and measures 1 3/4" wide and 7 1/4" long.  It is soft and manages to be comfortable even though it is quite wide.

Cost:  $120.00 plus shipping
