Irish Luck Peyote Bracelet

This bracelet makes me think of shamrocks and St. Patrick's Day.  It would be a completely different bracelet if I had used a different color besides green!  I love making geometric peyote bracelet pattern designs. Peyote lends itself to angular shapes, so a geometric design can be done with fewer colors.  And they look like they were so complicated to make but they really aren't. To get a realistic looking flower, you have to use several colors to get the shading just right.

I changed the clasp to be an extension of the design of the bracelet.  You can see what a difference it makes to the look of the bracelet here.  When you first start beading, you're happy to just be able to bead a clasp, but after awhile you want the clasp to make a statement.  It takes a little more effort to think about how you can make a clasp that looks good with the bracelet, but it's totally worth it.  

I had to see what a purple version would look like.  I'm glad I did because this picture shows an error in the pattern!  Luckily I was able to fix it before I published it. Do you see it? 

This is not a beginner pattern, the ombre bracelet or "Crossing the Line" would be better for you if you've never done peyote before.  You can grab a free copy of the Crossing the Line pattern below.  If you are wondering what "peyote" is, then check out my basic peyote tutorial.
