Back To Beading



I finally got back to the studio and accomplished something. Only because I put aside everything else and concentrated on jewelry for a while. Forget that the grass needs mowing. Forget that the berries are ripening in the field. Forget that the dust is 3 inches thick on the furniture. Just forget it all and create!

This bracelet is a simple design that comes out quite contemporary looking. I used 18 gauge copper wire and wrapped it with 20 gauge. The focal bead is a glass lampwork in lavender and white while the accent beads are a deep purple acrylic bead. It was really fun to make, but oh my poor fingers from all that wrapping!
