Perla Perle

Perla Perle - One of my personal most favourite designs, I designed the pattern many years ago and it was published in Threads&Crafts Magazine. I redesigned the pattern slightly and there are two versions in one pattern.
Available at Etsyhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/125074464/peyote-stitch-bracelet-pattern-perla

Perla Perle

Pearl bracelet pattern will be available soon at my Etsy.  I had been playing with polymer clay for the last few weeks, but I am glad to be beading again. The name of this bracelet is literally pearls and more pearls. Perlas, perles, pearly - it is full of pearls. Whether we say it in French, Spanish or English, we all love pearls. Glass, fresh water pearls or whatever looks like a pearl, will touch a nerve of interest.
