With beads just laying around, I decided to look at the previous beaded work and see what room was there to improve and personalize the beading pattern. Since I had just made a beaded bracelet and it was faster to make, I decided to add two more to the mix
The above trial piece is a slight development from the original, with the added layer on top of the curve.
The design below is yet another slight development, I wanted to observe the flow pattern should the base beads be strung differently.
I still have more to add in the post to follow.
