When creating 2-drop even count peyote stitch designs, I often turn to ethnic & tribal motifs for my inspiration. This bracelet's pattern is based on a traditional Borneo Dayak motif, often seen in batik-dyed fabrics, but also adapted for tattoos. Rather than traditional batik colors, I chose white for the background, with the swirls in a bead mix called Flatiron (matte metallic dark blue, bronze, gold, gray).

The bracelet is designed & hand-woven (by me) using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, where nearly 2,000 small beads are woven, 2 at a time. The resulting bracelet is supple, with a fabric-like drape. It measures 1" (2.5cm) wide & 7" (17.8cm) long, including the bronze-tone tube slide clasp.

NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow 2 weeks to reach addresses outside France. I ship quickly -- often the same business day -- but have no control over the speed or efficiency of the postal services here or around the world.
