This bracelet's design was inspired by a swatch of mid-century fabric that I recently saw. To create the pattern, I zoomed in to capture a segment of the overall fabric's repeating motif. I call this design "X and O" because of the central crossed lines inside a small circle & the 2 larger circles on either side of it. Whatever you think of when you see it, the bold, graphic simplicity of the motif is eye-catching. For this bracelet, I chose pink & galvanized (metallic) deep burgundy on a white background.

 

The bracelet is designed & hand-woven (by me) using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, weaving nearly 2,000 small beads, 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 silver-tone tube slide clasp.
