I chose these lovely silvery coloured Tilas and matched them with hematite seed beads in sizes 11/0 and 15/0. The pattern was confusing at first, but as soon as the first couple of rows formed, I could see where I was going and spent the rest of the class happily weaving away.
It makes for a really slinky, tactile bracelet that feels nice worn. I do love these shaped beads that have been coming out recently, like these Tilas and the Pips I've been playing with recently. I'm quite tempted to do a bit of on line shopping and stock up on some more shapes, there are some interesting looking triangle beads I've got my eye on.
Part two of our day to follow soon.

I think it's wonderful that yo and your mum do so many fun things together. Your bracelet turned out really pretty. I remembering reading somewhere that hematite has healing properties.
Gorgeous! I'm also intrigued by these interesting beads - no access to any kind of classes here though. which may be a good thing after all. I'm envious of your crafty day with your Mum - that must have been such fun - and with cake too!
Your bracelet is lovely! What a fun thing to make with your mom.
