One way to describe the type of beadwork Cynthia Rutledge creates.
Below is my version of her Honeycomb Bangle that was published in the Bead&Button magazine (Apr 2011). Yes this is how long it has taken me to get around do making one. I thought I would come across the special 6x9 faceted rondelle beads for it, but never did, so I had to stop procrastinating and set out to search and find them on the internet. First I tried some I already had but they were too big and had to rip it up. This is a project where your seed beads need to be uniform as much as possible to make it perfect. I would like to do another one with the perfect beads. She also has the tutorial for this one at her site http://www.cynthiarutledge.net/kits/b-honeycomb-bangle/index.htm
I must show a few of her fairly recent pieces that I love...
