This
Autumn's End Bracelet is made up of a series of
components. Each component is made using different
bead weaving stitches.
Tubular
Base
An Ndebele tube stitched with size 11/0 seed beads.
Large
Flower
This flower consists, first, of a webbing structured
with 8 spokes, formed by increases within an Ndebele
stitch. This webbing is shaped a bit. Next, we surround
this shaped webbing with 8 leaves made with the
St. Petersburg stitch. Under these leaves are 4
brick-stitched sepal leaves. Through the center
of the flower is a tubular Ndebele stitched stamen.
The large flower is attached to one end of our Tubular
Base.
Small
Flower
This flower begins with a shaped, Ndebele-stitched
webbing, similar to but smaller than the large flower.
A tubular peyote bezel holds an Austrian crystal
rhinestone in place within its center. Rather than
leaves and sepal leaves, this flower's base is embellished
with 3x11mm and 5x16mm daggers. The small flower
is attached to the other end of our tubular base,
after we have insderted the armature.
Armature
A lead-free piece of plumber's solder is inserted
and secured within our Tubular Base.
Vine
The outside of our tubular base is embellished with
a right angle weave vine. To our strip of right
angle weave, we add some decorated daisy flowers.
We attach the vine to spiral around our tube.
