I owe a lot of thanks to all of my wonderful Etsy customers and beading friends, who have given me plenty of encouragement and inspired me to start on this new adventure. I also have a great deal of gratitude for the generous people behind OpenOffice, who have made it possible for a small-time instructor like me to create professional PDFs. I'll be donating a portion of every tutorial sale to OpenOffice.org so that they can continue to offer great services.
In the meantime, I want to share some of my excitement with my fellow beaders, so I’m going to be giving away 2 copies of my Wavy Wedges Bracelet tutorial!
This project is one of my most original designs, and it is so much fun to make. The technique is a lot simpler than it looks, and because of the unique shape, the pattern and color possibilities are endless.
For your chance to win a copy of Wavy Wedges for Personal Use, just describe how you would use the bars and wedges pattern to make your own unique variation of the design.
Leave a comment on this post with your idea, and your email address (beadlover AT yourmail.com). I’ll be drawing 2 lucky winners on Monday, September 27th.
Good luck and happy beading!

I like this pattern, I think I would do a rainbow version of it if I had the pattern, my daughter loves rainbows, so I would make it for her, and maybe make one in metalic fall colors, I love bronzes and coppers and golds
Beautiful work, Mortira. It would be a wonderful pattern for a knit or crochet scarf as well ;-)
Right now in my mind is a 'belt'=) I like the pattern too.
I love this pattern. I see Christmas Trees made using this technique. Love your blog!
congrats on your new venture!~ Much luck to you :)
I think these (as bracelets) would make great 'school spirit' treasures given the right colour combinations
The moment I saw your bracelet, I thought "Ocean!" I've been in love with the sea for most of my life (though I've only seen it once), and would love to recreate the powerful waves, crests, and sprays with a pattern like this so that I could always carry the ocean with me :-) I imagine a sea shell clasp with an 11/0 loop closure. And maybe a burst of several different blue, gray, black, and white "sprays" in the middle. And maybe a few silver beads here and there, like moonlight on a stormy sea!
Thank you for your great tutorials, and congrats in advance to whomever wins the tutorial! :-)

I know it doesn't sound very original, but I think that pattern would look great as a basic rainbow for coming out day! rebecca dot loveking at gmail dot com
Great work!
Fatemeh: I see something in an ethnic or tribal design. I see the colors of red, black and green. Or even an African style. I also see brown, red, and yellow. My mind is racing with ideas. I would also create one triangle and make a pendant or earrings. also, if I make less rows I can also see it as a choaker or ankle bracelet. The possibilities are endless. One I learn a pattern, I go crazy with it. Thank you. fnggrant@yahoo.com
I'm loving these ideas! There are some really fun ways to use the shapes for abstract and literal inspirations!
Congratulations on the new tutorials. I love this pattern. I would encorporate the stitch in cuffs, necklaces, and even earrings. Color coordinations are just endless.
I hope you take a few minutes to stop by my blog and enter my giveaway.

love this pattern...I'm looking at using it in one of my BJP journal pieces I make. The design (depending on the different color beads used) appears to be resemble zentangle or a doodle pattern! I like to have some two dimensional look some of my work and this pattern would fit in perfectly! Here's keeping my fingers crossed! thanks for this offer!!
Mortira... I just love your candy corn bracelet. What a great design my dear! I think this style would be a STUNNING choker, with a crystal pendant dangling front and center... perfect for holiday parties or just because!
One thing is certain... you are a true gem and a gift to the artisan community. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us!
{Hugs!}

Thanks Dawn! I love the choker idea! The beadwork is pretty flexible, so with the right findings it could look great.
