I tried to get a good photo but my photo taking skills suck. I ended up scanning it. But 319 Swarovski crystals and silver lined seed beads just don't like being scanned (as you can tell by the streaks of light all over the pictures). This is the cover pattern from B&B's Crystals 2 magazine and is made by weaving the top layer of crystals in RAW and then going back and doing another layer of RAW underneath in 8/o seed beads, which makes the bracelet curve slightly as well as making it more comfortable to wear (bicones are awfully scratchy directly on the skin). My previous post has a photo of the first one of these I made, using Czech firepolished faceted beads in an Iris green. I actually like the way the bracelet curves better than the one in crystals, even though it was harder to make.
