Sculptural Peyote
This is a great way to use all those small amounts (and singles) of beads you have. I made these bracelets using seed beads (11° to 14° , round, 2 cut, 3 cut, Hex, Delica, some 22K gold electroplated and some 22K gold dipped). Also many sizes of cube beads, 2mm to 6mm vintage and new crystal beads (all shapes), brass beads and charms, gold and copper beads and charms, vindage glass flowers and pearls, small bugle beads, vintage and new glass beads, and on and on. The technique is fun, mistakes are rare, and no two pieces come out the same. I am now working on some belt buckles.
