Brick stitch bracelet

Here is another piece I created during my beginner's beading course.

I had never attempted brick stitch before and gee what a great stitch... so quick and easy but the results are just gorgeous!



I created this piece with these gorgeous sz 8 hex beads in delish metallic colours - browns of course... my favourite colours!





I had a bit of trouble with the clasp in the sense that I created the loop before adding the button and of course then discovered my loop was too small... sooooo I added a freshwater pearl to that loop to fancy it up a bit and then made another loop to fit the button... problem solved!

Me thinks I'll be making some more of these bracelets as I have already stocked up on more hex beads!
