Bracelet: Tribal Motif, Coral & Dark Honey, and 50 similar items

When creating 2-drop even count peyote stitch designs, I often turn to ethnic tribal motifs for my inspiration. This pattern is based on a traditional Borneo Dayak motif, often seen in batik-dyed fabrics, but also adapted for tattoos. I love the way the motif centers on a swirl, with linear elements radiating outward. The nearly 2,000 small beads are handwoven (without a loom), 2 beads at a time, using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch. The technique gives the bracelet a lovely drape feel, almost like fabric. Measurements: 1" (2.5cm) wide, 7" (17.8cm) long, including the bronze-tone tube slide clasp. NOTE: all items are shipped with tracking from my studio in the south of France; please allow time for packages to reach destinations outside France. I ship quickly (often the same business day) but have no control over the speed or efficiency of postal services here or around the world.
