I'm afraid that I don't remember any project sheets or kits that seemed to twist like that.  But there are still a few avenues to check before I decide that it must have been someone else's pattern.

Was it maybe a necklace that we had at a trade show? If so, I might be able to track it down and send you a photo of it.

We've also sometimes had illustrations of items in our catalog, that we have just listed parts for, but haven't really had a project sheet (or sometimes, even a real piece of jewelry ... just a computer-drawn illustration).  A computer glitch ate the most involved ones of those a few years ago, but we might be able to recreate one if we can remember it well enough.

Any other details that you can remember would be great - Do you remember any colors, size (3-strand, many-strand-woven, choker, earrings, long necklace, bracelet), etc.?

Another thought ... maybe we showed the cover a book, and the item was on the book cover.  Does that seem likely at all?
We have certainly had a lot of books that had intricate seed & bugle designs in them.

Rosemary,
A scan would be great!  
The bigger, the better - as large a picture file as you can stand to send.  Please send it to polly@rings-things.com .

That project doesn't sound familiar, but I can show the picture to a few other other people here.  Even if it isn't one of ours, some of our beadier people here should be able to come up with some ideas to help you figure out how it was made.

Can anyone tell me where I can get an old R & T pattern? It was made of seed beads and bugles. The seed beads seemed to twist in and out of the bugles. Sorry this is such a lame description.

Dear Polly
Thanks for going to so much trouble for me. It definitely was a bracelet. There were vertical bars of 5 bugle beads and twisted ropes of sead beads joined these. I still have the bracelet, but can't remember how to do it. I could take a scan. Where would I sent it to? Thanks again for your help.
