Since early December the only time I made anything new was for custom orders that came in, the Monet Challenge and this bracelet???
I will have to get myself in gear because I have two shows coming up...Feb. 11th "All that glitters" & Feb. 12th the "Soups On" which is a Heart & Stroke Foundation fundraiser! More about that later...
For now I would like to show you my bracelet...remember the beginning of January I did a post about these gorgeous beads from Artbeads.com a mixture of Bali, Hill Tribe, and sterling silver, with the gorgeous Indian Pink & Mocca roundelle Swarovski crystals...not to forget the star toggle. I get side tracked so easily sometimes...when I was cutting and pasting the links I just happened to notice Artbeads.com has a total of 3068 silver beads if you combine them altogether...there are so many to choose from!!!!
I can't say enough how lovely these two new colors are...but then I'm a huge fan of all shades of browns, as I mentioned the Indian Pink has a slight hint of purple which sold me right away!!!
I have to tell you I tried 4 times to lay this bracelet out to take an interesting shot and show off the detail...I think sometimes I try too hard... finally I picked it up from both ends and let it go and voila...there you have it, so I left it that way!
This is definitly a "me" bracelet as I often wear bracelets with dangles...the movement appeals to me...
Have a great weekend...
Cheers
