Description (2014), 9"x4", Size 15 seed beads and size 11 seed beads worked in Ndebele stitch, closure bead, focal glass art bead, fireline.

I really enjoyed the almost velvety blues, blacks and purples of the focal bead and the way they are combined with the chartreuse bubbles for a really cool color effect. I tried to pick up on that in the chartreuse "spots" on the bracelet itself as well as in the edge beads.

If you want to learn how to makes these you can find the instructions or pattern here.

Another fantastic explosion of color!  The peridot green and purples really pop.

Thank you! I love how this one turned out to be quite dark. With Ndebele pieces often look quite light, because the beads are not that tightly packed.

Thanks so much! Ndebele is such a nice technique - works up fairly quickly and allows the combination of different bead sizes.

It looks like an optical illusion, and I do love those colors.

Yeah, it's impressive, because that's a combination that could go so wrong as well as so right.
