INSPIRATIONS: Starry sapphire night was inspired by a painting of Vincent van Gough whose vivid rich blues and bright star sapphire took me to these beads and the design.
SKILL LEVEL: Suitable for beadweavers with experience of the stitches used.
STITCHES: This project uses a combination of many types of stitches and beads – herringbone variation, netting and right angle weave to create the components for this bracelet. Design decisions taken in the workshop will allow the bracelet to be personalised especially re the clasp.
