Seed Bead Spiral Rope in Gradient Blues

by Virginia Brubaker

This spiral rope bracelet is done in size 8 Japanese beads with three colors of opaque blue seed beads as the core of the bracelet and a similar number of transparent blues graduating from darkest at the ends of the bracelet to lightest in the center.

I actually made this a number of years ago, but it has remained a favorite of mine.

I love the effect of graduated colors and I think it is one of the neat things to do with seed beads!
