BEFORE
AFTER
All finished!! I worked on this bezelled pearl bracelet a little on Saturday and also Sunday, finishing up early this morning around 3am. I wanted to complete it before my next beading class at toocutebeads which is Wednesday, May 14.
Last time my Instructor (Rose) saw this bracelet, it was four beaded pearls, like in the BEFORE photo up there. Three connected together and the 4th one lopsided and in need of some serious surgery. 
But now it is done and I want to show it off to my instructor. Yay!!
I am making a pair of earrings to match. Should be a pretty set when finished.
Don’t know if I will make another bracelet like this one. The first three pearls took me FOREVER!! This was my first time working with Tubular Peyote. I was constantly checking to see if I had the beads in the right spot. Where as with Flat Even Count Peyote, I could bead in my sleep. I think I will stick to flat peyote.
This coming Wednesday I will be making a bracelet called Dimensional Peyote. It must be very time consuming since this class is spread over two days. TWO four hour sessions. Normally my classes at toocutebeads are just one day, four hour sessions.
I finish it up the following Wednesday, May 21. Haven’t decided what color beads I will use. I am thinking about two colors. Maybe purple and lavender. Or red and black. Or bronze and beige.
There weren’t any photos available but I saw three samples at the bead store where I take my classes. The bracelets were beautiful!! I will be happy if mine looks even half as pretty as those in the showroom. Can’t wait. I want to wear it already.
