This handmade woven glass bead bracelet features two shades of turquoise and finishes with a silver metal flower button clasp.

The "Meadow Stream Bracelet" is hand-woven in two layers. The bottom layer consists of dark transparent turquoise glass beads that have black highlights for a very pretty tonal quality. I then wove sky-blue turquoise beads across the top for a lovely contrast. The sky-blue turquoise has an "aurora baorealis" coating that subtly reflects the light, giving the bracelet just a hint of bling.
I used "right angle weave" to create the base of this bracelet. Right angle weave is known for its strength and its supple, almost fabric-like feel. The "Meadow Stream Bracelet" is extremely comfortable to wear. You'll reach for it often.

I used peyote stitch (also known as gourd stitch) to create the loop for the button. This stitch creates a pretty edging around the loop when it frames the button. Button clasps are supremely easy to fasten and unfasten by yourself. They stay put securely, too. Once you have tried a bracelet with a button clasp, you will surely want more! The sweet flower button can be worn on top of your wrist or under it.

We used to own some property that bordered a meadow overlooking Mt. Rainier. There was a little stream that ran through the meadow. I loved to sit by the stream, in the spring, among the wildflowers, looking out toward the majestic mountain in the distance. This bracelet is named for that stream and the meadow flowers. I hope you enjoy the bracelet as much as I enjoy the memory.
