The Caterpillar Bracelet Series

Last Thursday, I took a beadweaving class at Need 2 Bead and learned how to make what I am going to call The Caterpillar Series.  The pattern looks similar to a caterpillar...hence the name.  ;)

The main design is made with teardrop seed beads on a base of cube seed beads.

The Purple Iris Caterpillar Bracelet


The Buckeye Caterpillar Bracelet was made with size 8 seed beads. It just doesn't have the same excitement as the teardrops.

Rainy Days

Rainy days are good for catching up.  I've been reading up on the Etsy forums and perusing various blogs.  There are a lot of creative people out there!

Last week, I learned how to make a caterpillar bracelet.  The base of the bracelet is a square stitch with cube seed beads.  The cover is made of teardrop seed beads.   It was quite the feat to make.  It took me about four hours to complete it.

Today,  I think I'm going to try a Buckeye caterpillar bracelet.  I bought some scarlet and gray size 8 seed beads that should make a nice variation.

I'll take some pictures of my recently finished pieces soon and post them!
