A 'Ndebele' cuff bracelet

I got this pattern from a book (see pictures) but didn't have enough of the right beads, so had to adapt the pattern. Also, it was meant to be a continuous cuff, not a bracelet, but I didn't want something that I would have to wear half way up my arm. I really love how it turned out. The first stage was a little weak and flimsy, but the size 11s really did add the stability.
