PEYOTE STITCH!

I really enjoyed my jewelry class. I worked on my bracelet at home. It is hard to show the colors because the beads are iridescent.

OH, NO! I did not get enough beads in my packet. Good thing I keep a few beads on hand in case of emergencies.

I worked in some round beads to finish out the cubes. I like the texture change and although the flat planes of the cubes push the light back in photography and do not show the true color, the two beads are very similar. "Close enough for government work," as my current basketry teacher says. I have been hearing that all my life, since it was a favorite quote of my father's when I was growing up.
