Tila Bead, Seed beaded bracelet - Reggae Tiles

I just love these two colours together - the colour of the Caribbean Sea and soft coral from the reefs. I have my Reggae tunes blasting away while beading!
Learn how to use these versatile , double drilled beads called Tilas. Do you say 'Tiler", 'Tealer' or 'Tiller"? I'm in the 'tiler' camp as the remind me of tiny mosaic tiles.

2 colours of Tila beads - Opaque Turquoise AB and Opaque Salmon
2 colours of complimenting 11/0 seed beads - Special Dyed Turquoise and Transparent Light Tea Rose
1 x 11/0 as a contrast - Dark bronze
1 x 8/0 complimenting your contrasting 11/0 - Matte met Khaki Iris
Clasp
Beading Thread
Beading Needle
Scissors or thread zapper

Is there a specific brand of beads you used ? Ive tried 3 times to make this and ripped it out each time , once because it was too big and the other times , had to change beads because it was puckering and my tension wasn’t tight .

[@JoBarclayLoggie]

I'm just using ordinary tila beads with Miyuki seed beads septsapphire1... It's so frustrating having to rip apart work that you've spent ages on. As I bead I constantly pop my work down on the bead mat and flatten it with my finger tips as I go along - seems to help get the correct tension for the design and even out any kinks at the same time....x
