Description
(2006) 3.5"x2", pale gold Swarovski pearls, red gold metallic iris size 15 seed beads, 14 carat gold size 15 seed beads, delica beads (gold opal, dark bronze, satin 14 carat gold), bronze size 11 seed beads, pale gold and dark bronze satin triangle beads, nylon thread.

This cuff bracelet is done in brick stitch. I started with a fan around one side of the seed bead then added one half sun-disk after the other until I could close the bracelet and and finished the brick-stitch off with a picot edge on the outside. This piece is similar in technique to another piece in my gallery called "Slate Waves" [link] However, instead of linking the fans up for a continuous curve here they seem to overlap each other.

I have a piece in my scaps that explains the technique: [link]

This piece will be an entry in the Artisan Craft Summer contest [link] "Aurum Solis" means "Gold of the Sun".
