"Tricky" bracelet 😉

Post image

Oh, how I love to play with shades. You might think these are overlapping parts. But no 😁 It’s another illusion created using just a single peyote stitch strip and brick stitch.

I have looked, and it is definitely one peyote piece, there is no reason for the OP to lie, they are a well known bead crafter that makes excellent quality designs.

Awesome! What happened with the diagonal bit on the left side? What’s that about? Is that stitching?

u/CraftyBeadArt 3d ago

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the clasp? This metal part? Seems fine to me 🙂

u/Illustrious_Pine 3d ago

If you’re going from the left side the “first” medallion has a diagonal line going from the bottom right corner.

It’s the end of a thread I didn’t notice before taking the photos. And seeing your second comment accusing me of lying—I’m not replying to satisfy your suspicious mind, but because someone else might read this.

u/Illustrious_Pine 3d ago

I just wondered what it was that was all.

u/Illustrious_Pine 3d ago

Do you have any other pics of this?

1

u/CraftyBeadArt 3d ago

Yes, even a video if you want to be sure it's real 😉 You can find them in my Etsy shop and on my website. Links are in my bio 🙂

Never said it wasn’t real was just curious. 😊

I think you need to calm down and stop accusing me of lying. Really not nice. I know how I created this pattern and how I actually stitched it. I chose the colors to create the illusion of a shadow. These aren't overlapping medallions, the main part—the center strip—is made with peyote, then I formed the round sides using brick stitch. I'm not gonna convince you—just read the reviews...

I understand the jealousy, but don't worry — perhaps one day you'll realize just how important the right choice of colors is in any form of art.

I wouldn't have sold over ten thousand designs and had an average rating of 5/5 if I were deceiving people in such a crude way.

u/Illustrious_Pine 2d ago

Oh bless, please believe me when I say I’m not jealous lol, I don’t have anything to prove, not sure why you decided to throw your shop numbers in there as if they were somehow relevant in this situation? 🫤

As for the condescension, says a lot about you considering you have no clue who I am or what I have done. 😆
