B&W Geometric Beaded Crochet Cuff (CH0364)

This is another beaded cuff bracelet made mainly with beaded picture crochet technique. This post has lots of pictures and low on wordy text.

B&W Geometric Beaded Crochet Cuff (CH0364)



Like I said, not a wordy post. While it is not a how-to tutorial, the details in photos are often either self-explanatory or will help spark a creative trail in a direction I would never have logically dreamt. So dream on!

I will note that this piece started off with a trimming of needle tatting, strung with Swarovski crystals (Crystal AB, 2.5mm). I am devising ways to make the start of a circular crochet project less floppy, and hence easier. This needle tatting start was quite successful.
