On the Bead Table :: Tilas

After Bead Fest, it is hard to know where to start with digging in to the stash. So I thought I'd warm up with a simple little design of tilas and micro seed beads. Nothing too fancy, but sometimes the simplicity of a piece is enough.

 I picked up a bunch of brass connectors at the show, which I knew was going to fit right into my repertoire. I think these give the piece that Egyptian feel; fit for a queen. Hmmmmm, maybe that's what I'll have to call this one: the Cleopatra Cuff.

 I've got some earrings that I made that match this cuff that I'll be sharing this weekend in Shel's Pearl Blog Hop. Be sure to stop back by and check them out.

    One word: Stunning!
    At first I read your title as "tiles" instead of Tilas, but on closer inspection of your beautiful cuff, the little square beads do look a little like teensy tiles ;-)

    Cleopatra Cuff is beautiful! I love the overall brassy feel, perfect for fall. Tile beads are so neat but for some reason I have never used them. I will have to pick some up to experiment with!
