The pattern is very detailed with step by step instructions and illustrations

Gypsy Bracelet

I absolutely adore this bright and shiny bracelet. Wearing it will brighten even the dullest day.  Gypsies are so colorful and this bracelet needed a colorful name. Hear the tambourines!  Uneven count peyote stitch in various sizes beads and shapes give you this very textured bracelet.
The original bracelet was designed for my students in my peyote master class group. But I used dull colors at the time. Must admit when I reworked the pattern in the brighter colors, it looked a lot nicer too
Pattern available at my Etsy store

Isigubhu

  • The isigubhu is a Zulu drum. The isigubhu is made out of a used oil drum, wrapped with ox hide known as isikhumba. Before each performance, the drum is set out in the sun, which makes the ox hide tautly stretched. This produces a sharp, resonant sound. The drum is frequently used in  dancing, , accompanied with clapping blocks of wood and singing.
