BEGINNER LEVEL
-- Bead Weaving Sequence
-- Stitch of the Month
-- Lesson: Netting
-- Bracelet
This
bracelet involves creating a netted base, and then
adding a second layer of netting as embellishment.
I envisioned a bracelet with a lot of textural and
color variation embellishment on the surface, to give
the feel of a cobblestone walkway. Since I wanted
the clasp to look like it was an organic extension
of my cobblestone walkway, I decided to make the clasp,
in part, using the Netting Stitch. The Netted bracelet is very fluid,
and easy to wear. It is a casual piece.
