Newest Freeform bracelet -getting ready

New










































This is my newest freeform bracelet creation. I meant to upload this one as the second, but forgot that Blogspot always puts the last post up front. Anyway, This - and the next post -- are mainly for my Etsy friends who say they are a bit afraid of trying freeform. I hope this will help you get started.
The top 3 photos are the focals which will be incorporated into the bracelet.-- the last one is not yet beaded and may or may not end up in this bracelet. The bottom two photos show some (but not all) of the beads I've dumped on my table for possible incorporation into the finished product. I may not use all of these, but may yet pull out some others -- depending on how things fit together and how it looks.
I use mostly peyote stitch, but in places where I've added larger or smaller beads -- or the focals, peyote won't quite work, so I fill in with improvisations -- ladder stitch, brick stitch, a bit of stringing -- whatever will fill the space and do what I want it to do.
To keep things in perspective, I've draw a very rough template of how large I want the bracelet to be -- around 6-1/2 inches long (clasp will be added to this) and around 1-1/2 inches wide, but this varies. From time to time, I lay the bracelet on the template to be sure I'm somewhat keeping within my 'boundaries.'
One time, I didn't do this and ended up with part of the bracelet around 3" wide -- and had to rip out a lot. I also sort of plan where I'll put the focals.
Anyway, this is how I work my freeform. Feel free to ask me any questions, but please do not copy my design.
