Yes, I know I've posted a lot about my Ever-Evolving Spiral design (here, here, here, and a little bit here), but I had to make another bracelet for a class sample, so you get to look at it again. :) This one is for Knot Just Beads, and I'll be teaching it in November or December. I'll post the date when it's been set.
I do have another colorway that I could have dropped off:
This is called "Fire and Sand". Steve named it. Coming up with colorway names is hard, and I appreciate all the help I get! This is the one that about made me lose my mind because the 8/0 seed beads are smaller than the ones in my other samples.
Anyway - I could have dropped off that bracelet, but Kim from Knot Just Beads helped me pick out the "Fiesta" colors I showed you in the B&B Show class submission post. I thought it would be nice to give her a sample with the colors she chose. Since Kalmbach has my other Fiesta pieces, I whipped up another bracelet last night:
It's so quick to stitch - it's a nice break from some of my other designs (such as SDN15 - Dino-spine and SDN15 - Intertwined Pyramids that you can see here).
While I'm here, I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you a picture from the design's tutorial that compares all the different widths of this technique:
The changes between thicknesses are really subtle in the piece but a lot more pronounced in that picture.
I really like this technique and am looking forward to continued experiments with color and transitions!
