I am happy to be taking part in the One World One Heart Tour for the third year. Welcome to my blog, I am mrs beadsley and I am a jewelry artist living in Maine, in the wonderful (right now) Great White North, USA. I design One-of-a-Kind jewelry pieces using brass, copper, steel, silver and gold and combining them with colorful gemstones and crystals and beads.........actually the shinier the better to satisfy my inner magpie. I take my inspiration from all that is around me and craft my jewelry with a rustic twist. I recycle when possible - and find myself in the hardware store more often than not to buy "parts" for my jewelry. Lately, though, I have discovered the joy of weaving Kumihimo pieces........with beads and without. Which brings me to this: my giveaway............my gift for the last One World One Heart.

8-Cord Kumihimo Spiral Bracelet Instructions. I love the simplicity of the design of my latest kumihimo braided bracelet using size 8 Japanese seed beads.
The spiral pattern is pleasing to the eye and the materials cost is low! To make the spiral pattern, choose two contrasting colors of size 8 seed beads. You can use either Japanese or Czech seed beads. My design utilizes matte black Miyuki (stock no. MI-8-401F) and lovely matte gold Toho's (stock no. Each strand of cord will be strung with 50 beads, four strands of black, and four strands of gold, so it will take 200 beads of each of the two colors to make a bracelet length. You will need a Mini Kumihimo braiding disc, eight bobbins, and a button to make the closure. I start by cutting two 2-yard pieces of black S-Lon cord, and two 2-yard pieces of light khaki. Then I place the button top-side down into the center of my Mini Kumihimo disc. Once the cords are secured into the slots with my button face down in the center, I flip the disc over and begin stringing on beads.
