(2017) 7.5"x 3.5", Size 15 seed beads (matte bone white, red gold iris, silver-lined matte burnt orange, gilt-lined opal) Tiger's eye beads, Fireline.

This design is a little different, because the panels are not strictly symmetric all the way through. Instead parts of the design were made to look like they run over and under each other giving the bracelet a bit of a tribal knotwork appearance. This way you have to pay a little more attention when beading. You can't just read the graph for half a line and then simply run the rest of the beads in reverse. So some unraveling and cussing in German went into this piece...
