On my beading table

I really missed my beads, beading is one of main source of relaxation. So one day I just turned off my phone. Closed my browser. And the office (erm... bedroom) door too. Without distraction, magic happens. In the form of beading in my case :)

Let's celebrate together!

Because celebrating with friends is always more fun. And because without my friends this would have never happened... "This" referring to our

Playing with Super Duos: Wings Bracelet

I have lot's of fun with the two hole beads, and very happy to have my beading Mojo back :) It seems spring has a good effect on inspirationg...

The bracelet looked like several wings on top of each other hence the name.

The pattern is already available on Etsy:

WINGS bracelet

The first version was the green & blue and I was very pleased with the contrast between the colours. I recently bought the Jet Picasso Super Duos and really wanted to try them but finding a colour I liked with it was more difficult than I would have thought, but finally the hole thing just came together, and now I like this even more than the green-blue version!
