Seed Bead Bracelet - Right-Angle & Random Weaving

Blues Coral Bracelet (CC51)

This seeded Blues Coral bracelet is luxuriously full of seed and other beads, done in a free-form style utilizing right angle, coraling, and fringes. It sits comfortably when worn. As random sparkling Swarovski crystals are embedded and worked randomly into the bracelet, enchanting sparkles of light and flashing occurs when bracelet is worn.

Someone recently was commenting how difficult she found making free-form jewelry. Much more into structured pieces - which is how I feel too. And that made me realize that it might be time I tried some free-from jewelry pieces.

This Blues Coral Bracelet is based on the Aspen Glow necklace by Sheilah Cleary in "Beading and Beyond". The bracelet base is done in right-angle weave over 2 beads (instead of the standard 1 bead). Once the base is done, then it is just random (free flowing) coraling and fringes (Frothed and Branched) to be sewn with a random interjection of sparkling crystal stones.
