Pathway Beaded Bracelet

I recently made this bracelet as a birthday gift for my boyfriend's sister.  The alternating pattern kind of reminds me of a stone garden pathway.  It was based on the Even the Odds pattern found in Creative Beading Vol.4.  It is basically an odd count peyote stitch with some square stitch mixed in.  You can make it fairly quickly once you get used to the stitch.  I finished this in a couple of hours.  The materials I used were glass rectangular pillow beads, size 10/0 seed beads, 2 thread protectors and a silver plated filigree clasp.  I hope the recipient likes it as much as I do!
