Bracelet with Delica® Seed Beads
''I love geometric beadwork and wanted to explore the 'Warped Square' technique,'' said designer Barbara Briggs about this mind-bogglingly cool bracelet. How can you not love it?! The repeated geometric shapes in a twisted design catch the eye, especially with the colors Barbara chose. The black background has edges of Golden Delicious while turquoise Times Square seed beads really pop. Purple Gem Show hues are added throughout to balance the light and dark. And how do you finish an intricate design? Simply, with a multi-strand slide-lock clasp. Inspired by this design? Use a similar color palette for your own creations by clicking on each swatch.
