This series is a representation of beaded versions of the Spring 2017 fashion colors. Each addition highlights one of the 2017 Spring colors. Each of the entries will vary in style and composition.
Note: Artistic license was used to create these entries in the Spring 2017 Fashion Series, so the hue or tone may not exactly match each of the colors. This entry highlights the 2017 Spring color Primrose Yellow
The design was done using the Starman TrendSetter pattern Rippling Ovals Bracelet by Diane Fitzgerald. The bracelet is made by connecting motifs, and two separate motifs make matching earrings. The Rippling Ovals Bracelet pattern is available as a FREE Starman TrendSetters pattern.
NOTE - all Starman TrendSetter patterns are FREE - but are limited to print distribution. That means they must be PRINTED and physically INSERTED into your package when your order ships. There are two drop down boxes and when you checkout on the Red Panda Beads website, you can select two separate Starman TrendSetters patterns to be included with your order when it ships. To see where the two drop down boxes are, click here.

Clasp of Choice
The pattern calls for attaching the clasp with seed beads, but I chose to duplicate the "3 pearl drop" motif from the earrings, this added some length as well, so that the bracelet is now 6 1/2 inches before the actual clasp is attached.
