Beadweaving #2

My awesome soup partner, Kristen Stevens, shared her tutorial for the Pop Up Pearl Bracelet with me and it is...so cool!

I jumped right on the chance to do it - to prove to myself that I can do more complicated beadweaving.  The tutorial is written very well - there were many pictures to guide me along the way.  The first component took me awhile to figure out, but after that I flew (well, that is a bit of overstatement because I'm still pretty slow with it, but I definitely was quicker with the remaining parts).  I used 8mm blue goldstone beads instead of pearls and only used 8 of them (my wrist is smaller) and it turned out spectacular - so pretty.    Especially for this beginner.  :)
