Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris, Scotland

Inspired by the beautiful Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris, Scotland. Made this bracelet for my husband whose father comes from there. Luskentyre is one of the biggest and most beautiful beaches in Scotland, famed for its acres of low-tide white sands and turquoise waters.

It can get pretty dark and stormy a lot of times, and I wanted to show that through the use of dark beads in my projects.

Step 1: Measured my husband's wrist and settled on a project length of 15 cm (excluding slider ends)
Step 2: Worked on a dimension of 7 x 90
Step 3: Painted on a square graph paper
Step 4: Checked bead colours that fit the palette, working with a total of 13 colours - adding the blacks and silvers as highlights and accents
Step 5: Closed the ends with silver sliders
Step 6: I will use a black nylon cord to tie off the project
