CRYSTAL PICOT BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Olive Brown" (11-457H)
- 4mm fire polished beads "Opaque Pale Turquoise Star Dust"
- 6mm fire polished beads "Opaque Pale Turquoise Star Dust"
The pattern is from Deborah Roberti but I made a couple of changes. Instead of using 4mm bicones, I used 4mm fire polished beads for a softer look. I also wanted to tighten up the picots and give them more distinct points. Here is a close-up of the motifs and picots made as Deb wrote the pattern:
To get the pointy picots, I had to change the thread path a bit. Rather than try to explain what I did, I made a PDF tutorial that explains the changes I made to Step #8 of Deb's tutorial.

I really do like your changes! It's so much fun to experiment with patterns. You really do have a knack of making them better. Funny, but I came across some firepolish beads that color over the weekend and was thinking I should use them!
ReplyDeleteI bought the pattern but I like the way that you do the pointy picots much better. I tried downloading but the file has been removed. Can you please either post again or email at zimmermann.edith.m@gmail.com with info about the PDF file. Crystal Picot bracelet on April 7th
ReplyDeleteI just fixed the download link, Edith. TinyUpload deletes files that haven't been downloaded after a period of time so I download them all myself once a month to keep them active. I somehow missed this one. Sorry about that. I've added it to my reminder list now.
DeleteI love this pattern. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI did one your way and then doubled it for a cuff and added some beads in between. Wish I could show you, it's a stunner!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see it.
DeleteLooks lovely
