The advent of many new beads on the market is almost overwhelming at the moment, in particular the shapes and styles prove a challenge to those who loom designs. To most, the loomed piece is a two dimensional flat design but for me, I see a blank canvas to create!
When I saw first the O'Beads, Rulla and Diamond Bead - I knew I had to do something on the loom with them. Their shapes and diversity as a bead offers many options. I have some more designs in the wings - but for the June Edition of Digital Beading Magazine, I designed two slinky cuffs incorporating all three of these beads.
The first one (white) was slightly wider and and used a slightly different edging - I love the feel of this against the wrist - wide cuffs are fabulous on the wrist. For those who weren't able to obtain all the beads, I did a variation (turquoise). They are both fun and easy to do.
If you create a design using this tutorial, please share with me - I'd love to feature your design on my website!
Enjoy!
Caron

Year of the Jewelry - Week 3: Music
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue ... Plato
This loomed bangle is called rhythm! The rhythmic up and down of the pattern and the subtle tones representing musical waves epitomes the third week of the YOJ challenge - music.
