The difference between mine and Karla's is that I used 6mm pearls in place of the 6mm crystals.<br /><br />The 3 bracelets are done with the "filled net stitch," created by Gwen Fisher. She has a free tutorial on her website:<br />http://www.beadinfinitum.com/Kits/index.html#Crystal_BangleLinda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01498419059283219622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986635008726328071.post-28283069950646675622010-11-19T18:04:50.772-05:002010-11-19T18:04:50.772-05:00I love karla's videos.

Is that a flat spiral stitch on the bangle? Is that the same stitch on the other three bangles? I thought it was a netting stitch.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028923538784787882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986635008726328071.post-78505475378208758802010-11-18T13:02:19.000-05:002010-11-18T13:02:19.000-05:00Cherie, I think you must be referring to the brace...Cherie, I think you must be referring to the bracelet with the lavender and deep blue pearls, surrounded by green crystals and deep blue seeds. I learned how to make this bracelet at Castleander Beads in Hudson, NH. Tory is the owner and she's a sweetheart. Check out her website for photos of variations of the flat spiral stitch. http://www.castleander.com/classes.html <br /><br />I recently found an excellent video of the flat spiral stitch done by Karla Shaeffer of Auntie's Beads. She has a bunch of videos she calls the Karla Kam. I highly recommend them.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiB_PID3sC4Linda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01498419059283219622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986635008726328071.post-47815514438296177782010-11-17T19:58:38.634-05:002010-11-17T19:58:38.634-05:00Beautiful work! I enjoyed the slide show. Linda, ...Beautiful work! I enjoyed the slide show. Linda, what stitch did you use for the beaded bangles; the dark one with the pearls and crystals? Your beadwork is stunning. I just tried doing a pearl necklace - I've done a bracelet - but had to open it up. I think the thread was too thin for the holes. I'm still trying to work that out - how to use the correct thickness silk cord.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028923538784787882noreply@blogger.com
