Pentagon Bracelet

Decided to remake another Jean Power beading project I completed some years back …. The Pentagon Bangle.

Jean Power’s design was published in the 2012 April/May issue of Beadwork magazine. This time, instead of the original bangle version, I made a bracelet with a magnetic clasp.

Double Link Zaila Earrings

I used ‘Zaila’ techniques designed by Jean Power

I was fortunate to take a class with the inimitable Jean Power this past weekend and now have some exciting new geometric shapes to play with.
