This took so long because I took so long to complete this prize - my apologies all around! It's a busy time of year. Heather chose a random pattern of green beads - and this is the lovely result of my interpretation of her directions! I think it is gorgeous - reminds me of emeralds and snakeskin. That might not sound beautiful to you, but I think snakes can have lovely patterns and be a great source of inspiration!
If that isn't your cup of tea, what does this bangle remind you of?!
PRIZE: Custom Peyote Stitch Bangle
Enjoy, Heather!
And for those of you who are crafty and want to try to make your own bangle, here are some good directions for the tubular peyote stitch! If you have any questions, please ask, and I'll try to help you out, but I'm not up for making my own tutorial on this - there are some really great ones out there already!

Round 3 begins when followers reach 84! I'm thinking that since I'm getting more followers (hopefully!), and that means a smaller chance for you, my faithful readers, to win (which isn't a good way to encourage you to share this blog with others!), that I might giveaway 2 prizes instead of a larger prize. What do you all think about that? Let your voice be heard or forever hold your peace!
Happy Holidays!
