Beautiful feminine bracelet, that can be a stunning necklace too! Craw and peyote stitch combined and not difficult at all. Even though the pattern came so easily to me, I struggled for a few days to get the pattern published. At one stage I wanted to name my beautiful Adriana , Satan's daughter,  so frustrated I was with trying to publish the pattern.  First the illustrations that I did, did  not save correctly, then the file gave me that awful " file corrupted" message and in the last few days I rewrote, re illustrate the pattern at least six times. Well, it is now done and  posted  at last. And just for the record -  I was sooo  happy with the first pattern Enjoy

I am sure most of you wonder what does that mean. It means centipede in Zulu. To name my latest design was a bit of a challenge and after leaving it overnight, the next morning it look like a worm to me me. Not that a worm and a centipede have a lot in common - one has a hell of a lot of legs and the other one less.But this name just sounded so nice on the tongue. And when I post the photos I do hope that it would be beautiful to you. It is a right angle weave design, supple and as usual I was busy with something very different when this idea for a bracelet crept in.
Luckily the original idea  and design I did finish and you can have a peek later on this week.
Watch out for The Highlander, Shongololo and a yet to be named pendant and necklace.
Also found a few finished designs in that infamous - "Unfinished Project" box of mine, sadly I wrote the patterns as cryptic as you do not want a pattern to be written, especially when you made it a few years back, my memory is not what it used to be.
And more good news - I will post the bigger version for my Rani's Cross early next week.
Have a nice evening you all

     Wear it to show off your mild, gentle and merciful nature.

This week was a very productive week, thanks to Hubby for cooking all the meals. I completed a new cross pattern that I for so long wanted to do and a new double sided pendant. Two beautiful designs that work up quick. The Karen Pendant ( named after my good friend Karen Hughes) is a double sided pendant and can double up as an eye catching Christmas ornament too! The Clementine Cross is now my flavor of the day - it is so beautiful and elegant, not too big and lightweight around my neck. I am wearing it all the time.
If all goes to plan, both patterns to be listed before Saturday.
I really tried to use beads and crystals that we all have in our bead stash. Both patterns use just a few grams of beads and you can easily get rid of those left over beads in both these projects.
Oh, yes the cross is double sided too.
