I've mentioned that I've been haunting the vintage costume jewelry auctions on ebay, looking for both vintage jewelry and for inspiration.  I'm amazed at home some seed [...]]]> http://www.gailnettles.com/jewelry/beaded-jewelry-something-old-something-new/feed/ 0 http://www.gailnettles.com/seed-beads/peyote-stitch-beading-examples/ http://www.gailnettles.com/seed-beads/peyote-stitch-beading-examples/#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2008 20:17:35 +0000 Gail http://www.gailnettles.com/?p=168 I've shown you in previous posts some peyote bracelet tutorials, plus my Mermaid's Garden bracelet, which is based in the peyote stitch (albeit the freeform version).

This will be a "drive-by" post, but I wanted to get the beaded bracelet photo up since I have been talking about it all week! OK, so what's in it?
