Magic Carpet Ride bracelet

Here is a photo of one of my submittals to teach at 2010 Bead & Button show. I worked on this design for quite a while, taking it apart and trying to finish it properly. It uses right-angle weave and lots embellishment. Let me know what you think of the design.

I always love to visit with them, they are my “first” bead makers that know me by name.

I think this is more common than most B&B visitors know – getting to know your favorite vendors, going to dinner at the show and catching up, finding out what they do with their lives outside of B&B and sharing yours with them.
