Way back in 2016, I started blogging about a set of graphic images that I created for a 2013 Seed Catalog wall calendar. Today I discovered that I had only blogged about three of the 18 calendar page designs so I will post the rest of them over the next week or so. As I mentioned in THIS original post, these high resolution images are free to use to make greeting cards, computer desktop wallpaper, calendars and scrapbook pages, etc. You'll find my other two 2016 posts HERE and HERE.

I blogged about these "Mary Ann" bracelets back in 2015 but apparently I forgot to upload this blog post about the sets that I had made. Better late than never.

While going through my blog files, I came across this bracelet that I have never blogged about. I was probably waiting until I had published "Lizzie" as a separate pattern but I still haven't gotten around to doing that.
"Lizzie" is a variation of Teejay's "Lizbeth Band" which is a free pattern that you can download HERE. With "Lizzie", 6mm druks replace the SuperDuos that run down the center. Because the druks are so much larger than SuperDuos, they change the shape of the bracelet.

- 3mm druks "Champagne" (you will need 152)
When I saw Deborah Roberti's "Beaded Lanyard" pattern recently, I immediately thought that it would work great for a glasses chain with some modifications. First, I went to Walmart and bought the only glasses chain that they had in stock so that I could determine how long to make my chain. You can see the clunky tortoise shell chain in the photo below. The Walmart chain is 25-inches long so that's how long I made mine.
Deb's pattern was easy to adapt. I simply made one continuous length using her pattern design, starting and ending with a druk motif. I added an 8/0 seed bead on each end to attach a medium size jump ring. The eyeglass chain loops attach to the jump rings. Betsy from Red Panda Beads sent me a few loops to play with but you can buy them on Amazon. I saw a pack of 16 of them for about $5.00 there. If Betsy puts them up for sale in her shop, I will post a link to them.
You can download Deb's free "Beaded Lanyard" pattern HERE at Around the Beading Table.
