I started working on this simple bracelet 4 days ago and it took me more than 10 hours to finish, would you believe it? I couldn't concentrate, kept mistaking the order of beads and couldn't complete one single row without unpicking it several times. Really annoying. If it wasn't my love for playing with different sizes, shapes and colors of beads in order to create texture in my work, I would have given up after just a few rows... I'm now glad I didn't because I love it!


I used one of Claspgarten clasps again - a gorgeous, sparkly, multi-strand rhodium plated clasp with Swarovski crystals set in it, and it fitted the bracelet's size perfectly. That was a relief - no need to struggle.. :)
I also used the same beads for this matching small pendant.


Let's hope the weekend will be peaceful, pleasant and fruitful! :)
Sorry to hear you have been having a rough time. Your bracelet is gorgeous! I finally got the latest issue of Bead & Button today and love your desisn in it, though I think I'll havee to make it with bicones or firepolish as I don't have many drop beads.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, and also for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my project. I think bicones and/or fire polished beads would be great as much a drops. Play with it.. :)
Elegant bracelet!
