Delica 10s with crystals
This little bracelet took nearly 3 days. I fits very nicely but actually I don't care for t he 10s that much. 1 of them is twice the length of 2 of the 11s. The main problem here was getting the little circle clasp to fit over the big toggle.

Hoeschen's Harvest time bracelet
It took longer to find the right beads than to make the bracelet from Step by step beads Jan 2008 by Dottie Hoeschen. I used a lot less crystals but size 8 and I couldn't find the right spacers so used some size 6 gold beads in my stash. I might do it again. The button is Japanese and bought in Jakarta.

My peyote stitch bracelet
I used KO Japanese bead thread in white. The color was a mistake so I added size 15s for a picot to hide it. The beads are a Japanese mix I bought from Gloria. I should have made a peyote clasp but felt like just using a lobster clasp. My own design such as it is.
I really like the KO thread. It doesn't fray and gets into the needle always with the first pass. I need to buy more of this.
