Coastal Waters

This palette was inspired by a recent, spontaneous road trip up the Northern California Coast. This fun project is tailored for the budding beader with limited laddering experience, but any designer can appreciate the ease and instant gratification of this design. We have created a palette that includes 6 colors of Miyuki 6/0 Seed Beads. The combination of Mattes, Ceylons, Galvanized and Metallics make for beautifully balanced composition, but feel free to make up your own unique combinations. You're the designer! This project can be done in a variety of colors and it's no secret you can use almost any combination of colors to make a stunning set of bracelets. Watch the video and set aside weekend to play.
