Who of you DIDN’T love looking through a Kaleidoscope as a kid? Well, I for one, LOVED IT! My pension for high color and shapes was truly born through the many hours I spent twisting that tube of bits and pieces of color. Here is my return to those KALEIDESCOPE visions!
I always use 4lb Fire Line fishing line to stitch; a long, size 12 beading needle; size 11/0 Delica beads and a toggle bar and ring for the closure.
To work the optional PICOT trim and as designed, I used Miyuki size 15/0 round seeds in MATTE BLACK, #15-401F and (22) 2mm Fire Polish Crystals in CRYSTAL AB.
I used 10 different DELICA bead colors for a total of 1658 beads! There are 17 columns and 195 rows.
The finished size of my KALEIDOSCOPE bracelet measures 6 1/2 inches by just barely over 1 inch, measured trim to trim.
If you need to lengthen your bracelet, continue working the black and white pattern at each end, until your final length is achieved.
The cardboard KALEIDOSCOPE I had as a kid, really set the MARK for me in my designing life. All these many, many years later, I still remember the JOY I felt in twisting that tube. Oh my my...
