Bambou

I made these cuffs for my daughters.
The pattern is from  Pencio  and this is the link to her blog : pencio.chezblog.com.
This pattern is no longer available on her blog.
The pattern is peyote, netting on middle and crystals on the top.
It was one of the longer projects I have made so far, I was very pleased with the end results.
Cuffs are my favorite.

Puca Bracelet

I saw this bracelet on Puca's website -  perlepuca.canalblog.com
I bought the  pattern  by Sabine Lippert on her etsy.com shop , and the name of the pattern is A Square and  Friends.
This bracelet was fun to make.
I also have bought Sabine's book Beaded Fantasies and I can't wait to get it.
