Sun Jewels bracelet


This brick stitch bracelet has 'cut out sections' and is a very unusual design. I used beautiful Gold iris Delica beads

Art Deco Fish bracelet

This the bracelet for a brick stitch set that I made. Brick stitch is a little more difficult than peyote stitch, but I think it's so versatile because you can make almost any shape with it.

Marie Starr wrote a fantastic tutorial for brick stitch and you can download it from her website.The link is http://www.starrdesignstudio.net and the tutorial is called 'The ABC's of Brick stitch'

Garnet wings designs


This is one my favourite brick stitch patterns.
The butterfly pattern is scalloped and has a herringbone chain.










The bracelet is not only scalloped but has cut out sections as well. I used size 11 Delica beads for this design.

Iridium


This was the first scalloped brick stitch pattern I made. I used Delica beads in size 11/o - two of the colors have an iris finish and one is silver-lined. The bracelet is stiff and holds it's shape because the pattern was stitched top to bottom.
