I have gone cray-cray for using superduos to create fast put-up bracelets. Gratifying. Peyote and herringbone, my favs. HOWEVER I am searching for better and more creative edges. I have searched on YouTube with no luck.
I have Googled with no help. I am stuck. Any suggestions for pattern locations would be greatly appreciated. TIA 🥰🥰🥰❤️
I held on to my Note 20 Ultra 5G for 6 years. The only reason I upgraded to S26 Ultra was because memory needed increase and phone had screen burn in. My Samsung notes did not all transfer. I have tried everything.
Can anyone offer advice? I am having issues with this new phone that I never had before. I am stressed out. I rely on Notes.
TU in advance.
I get a lttle taken when I see a left-handed bead. YouTube creator. I still an ambitious novice. So much to learn. That's why I appreciate this comnunity.
Background:
So, I ran across a lefty who did right angle weave with superduos. I made a nice set for Juneteenth. Then became intrigued with herringbone. Could not figure it out. Then, came across another lefty who did herringbone with superduos. I jumped right in.Another success. So, of course I spied some GemDuos that I bought at the very beginning of my beading journey. They produce a large size cuz that 8/0 seed bead with the GemDuo didn't work. So, I went up to 6/0's. Just started this one in the wee hours of the morn.
The colorful one you see in middle is a right angle weave which was the first pattern I did following right handed Allie Buchmann of Potomac Beads. My daugther says it looks regal but heavy as a British crown.
I need help in choosing a clasp. These 2-holr bracelets are wide, too. I want the closure to be "smooth". What would you do? TIA for your time. ❤️❤️❤️🥰
I always look for left-handed YT beaders for instructions without using my laptop and reversing the video. My tablet is so much more convenient. So, I landed on JRPDesigns channel. Although the video was made 8 yrs ago, I was intrigued since she used right angle weave with superduo beads. I grabbed what I got my hands on first and went to work. I had all the ingredients.
First was red superduo beads.✔️ My eyes spied some 4mm black fire-polish beads. ✔️✔️ Then I peeped some green miyuki 11/0's my daughter wanted me to buy, a specific green. That's when the idea struck. Juneteenth was coming! This bracelet would use red superduos, black and green 11/0's. The earrings were added later in a peyote weave. They were they best I could do. The first attempt to mimic the bracelet design produced a pendant, not earrings. My back pain put me complete out for a couple of days.
It wasn't a smooth ride. But it was perfectly acceptable for observance of this important day in US history. I reached out to designer on Etsy to thank her for her left-handed inspiring creation.
