I wanted to share a few pictures of pieces I've completed. I'm began doing a few woven seed bead stitches in 2005. They are more time consuming than stringing larger beads onto a strand of jewelry wire, but the results are worth it. This blue bracelet was created with a basic spiral stitch, using size 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads (the larger the number, the smaller the bead). This particular bracelet took just over 2 hours to complete.
The black and white bracelet is actually a double spiral stitch. I've had people ask if the beads were just twisted together - I wish it were that easy! The double spiral stitch just involves an extra step than the blue single spiral bracelet. The seed beads used for this one are size 11/0 and 8/0. The seed bead size and the double spiral makes this bracelet chunkier than the blue one.
This is all for today. I've got several projects ahead of me that I'll share. There are always more ideas than time when it comes to beading!
