Look at this bracelet from afar, and you'll see two optical illusions at work. The use of peanut beads gives your work the drape of cubic right-angle weave without the hassle of stitching in 3-D. Then, multi-colored beads lend the look of highlights and shadows whether you choose two bold colors or four more subtle hues.
