Blue and Copper Tila Bracelet

This is available on my Etsy here!

I usually work with Delica beads, which are tiny and round. (They can be hex cut, but generally speaking, they are tiny little cylinders.) I wanted to try something new and different so I ordered a few of this Tila and Half-tila beads. As soon as I got them I knew I needed to make a bracelet inspired by watch bands. I think I nailed the vibe perfectly.

I think the blue ones look like little pieces of a globe and I love them. I made a few different pieces trying to use up all the beads I bought, four different varieties, but unless they sell really well I am not sure I will get more. These were just a little bit boring to make, beautiful to see, but boring to create.

I was really happy with these clasps that I found at a local gem show. Unfortunately since I got them in person I can't link them for you but I can and will link the beads!
