| Dawn Breaks Cuff Bracelet Direct Download! (Pdf, 417 kB) |
| "It is always darkest before the dawn" is a proverb that I have found the be true. Right before the sun breaks over the horizon, the sky is a dark grey-black color.

This cuff reminds me of that wonderful moment of hope as a new day, with all its possibilities, breaks.
This cuff, as shown, is designed to be worked with "irregular" 11/0 glass seed beads. The pattern could also be used with Delica seed beads, however, the finished measurements would be different.

- a full-color graph-style beading chart for the beaded band
- a color key with suggested colors and bead counts
- a 2-page word chart for the beaded band
- detailed, step-by-step instructions to help you attach your beaded band to a leather strap

| Unity Direct Download! (Pdf, 305 kB) |
| This piece is inspired by a design that I saw on a recent trip. Color has great symbolism to the Native American People. To the Lakota, Red represents all that is sacred, especially the earth.
