I like to show you my latest mini-collection of peyote stitch patterns. I was inspired by traditional norwegian designs, that knitters love to knit on their mittens, socks and sweaters. Look, how pretty are Nordic stars:

bezel bracelet by Jill MacKay

There was a quick giveaway in Andrew Thornton's blog. Sixth person is the winner. And I was lucky 6! The bracelet is made by Jill Mackay - little bezels with beautiful black and white curls inside. I didn't add any embellishments, I love this design as is. So I attached 3D glaze into bezels for getting a glass effect. 

Thank you Andrew for this generous gift! It's really beautiful! Thank you Jill for your very beautiful work!
