WOVEN
SEED BEAD BRACELETS
Czech Seed Beads are used in the weaving of these bracelets. They are considerably more time consuming than putting together a simply strung semi-precious bracelet! Dharma wheel bracelets in Topaz and Root Beer colors. (Each section is a mini-wheel with 8 sections )

Square Stitch Bracelets
The Square Stitch is a non-loomed bead woven stitch that has the identical lay of beads to loom work. Bracelets woven in this stitch are done with size 8 beads - the same as with the Herringbone Bracelets shown above. However, because the beads sit 90 degrees differently than the Herringbone stitch, there are more beads/inch.This makes a smoother bracelet as the beads are lie flatter. For these bracelets, I have used the patterns from Loom Weaves.1 for the 3/4 inch weave (for size 10 beads). As the size 8 beads are slightly larger, the weave is 1 inch in width. The patterns for the herringbone bracelets (above) can be used for a slightly narrower bracelet or can be modified to have an inch width. Again, these do take quite a bit of time to weave as each bead has a minimum of 2 passes of thread through it.....which results in 1 square inch taking 60 minutes to weave.

These bracelets combine braiding and the square stitch technique. Any color available can be used. For these samples, which are light and comfortable, I did a color on the outside of the strands, color on the inside of the strands and a solid color
