Today's reveal is another follow-up reveal... this time, for May's Monthly Challenge, where I dove into the world of diamond tessellations.
I had three peyote bracelets that I did not finish in time for that particular challenge. (You can see their beginnings here.)
I wasn't able to finish all three of them this month, either... but I was able to do two of them!
...And without further ado, here they are!
Bracelet #1
As a bit of a refresher, here is the design that I created...
Instead of repeating the pattern to go the full length of the bracelet, I decided to stick with the section I had originally patterned out. I like the way that it forms a complete unit, with the blue on either side as well as in the middle. It makes my symmetry brain happy.
The danglies are Czech glass. I thought they added just a little extra "something" to the otherwise flat design.
I'm still not convinced that those seed beads are actually Miyuki Delicas, but at least they look nice. The colors are certainly bright and summery!
Bracelet #2
And here is that same pattern, but in a different--slightly more complicated--colorway:
For this one, I decided to repeat the pattern all the way around the wrist. Since the colorway is a bit more involved, I thought that continuing the pattern helped balance it out a bit.
And I couldn't help myself: I added more danglies!
I am actually pretty happy with how this turned out. I was a little worried as I was working on it, thinking that it wouldn't look right... I'm glad that I didn't give up on it. Sometimes you just have to go through with the design to see how it will actually turn out!
So, there you go! Two more completed projects!
Thanks for stopping by today! I have more reveals to go, but I think I'm going to start slowing down my posting schedule a little. I'm taking a break from challenges next month (happy vacation time!), so I'll just keep posting these reveals throughout August.
Happy last day of July, everyone!
