There's something about mandala patterns that intrigue me. I think it's a combination of their symmetry, sense of balance, mystical origins. The central motif of this mandala is a flower, outside the flower, the design reminds me of birds soaring over the mountains. Rather than including the entire mandala in my design, I have chosen to zoom in focus on the detail. The nearly 2,000 small Matte light blue shiny cobalt blue beads in this bracelet were hand-woven (no loom), 2 small beads at a time, using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, giving the piece a lovely drape, almost like fabric. It measures 1" (2.5cm) wide approximately 7" (17.8cm) long, including the silver-tone tube clasp. NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow time to reach destinations outside France. I ship quickly (often the same business day as the order is placed) but have no control over the speed -- or lack thereof -- of postal services here or around the world.
