Gemme Designs says:Quite beautiful!! I’d like to see it closer up, I have never seen these beads before
Did you use a special technique like RAW of flat spiral stitch?

V Manderson says:This piece is among those in the Step-By-Step Instructions category, yet, there is no instruction following the “Step 1″ What’s up with that? I really was looking forward to learn to create a similar piece.

Pennie B says:Yes, were are the instructions. I have made the Kumihimo weave before using the magatama beads but thought this one was more envolved. AAHHHH, I want the instructions!!!

Sue Bead says:Love the bracelet, but where’s the instructions. Please, if you don’t want to post the instructions, just let us know what stitch you used and maybe one of us could figure it out. Thanks for sharing.

Sue Bead says:By the way, I like yours better than the spiral stitched one J Butterfield linked above because you used the beads in several directions, giving it a more organic feel.
