I love this mix of beads I stirred up from my local bead shop, The Bead Fetish It is so much fun I made 3 bracelets so far with these and will post them later.
Here is the whole shebang. I don't know why these colors popped out at me. They are a strange mix but I love them. Especially the silver seed beads, blue glass beads and the yellow pearls. I found magnetic clasps unfortunately they are better for necklaces than bracelets. I lost two of the bracelets I made with them twice! The good thing is I found them each time.
Here is a bracelet I made using the twisted wire wrap I made on one wire. It was time consuming but so much fun! I like how it turned out. I love the stone beads! They look really good in this picture but in real life look fairly dark.
I used a magnet clasp with this bracelet, hopefully it is strong enough. I have to test it out by wearing it all day long. I just bought some larger, stronger magnetic clasps at the bead show. Can't wait to use them!
I think I'll try this again!
Thanks for stopping by, Chandra

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Really like what you've done here! what a great design!
ReplyDeleteHey - was on Pinterest today and saw a bunch of great inspiration for wire wrapping and was thinking that I should pin it to one of our AW boards, but then realized that we don't have a 'wire board' !? perhaps we should get one! What do you think?
Thanks :) Yes we should have a wire board. Do you know how to do it on Artisian whimsy?
Deleteohh, gorgeous bracelet!!. LOVE the combination of turquoise blue, grey & silver. I see you'd discovered ATCs!!. It is so fun making them, I too just discovered them earlier this year :).
ReplyDeleteYes I think I'm addicted! I love the size so I also made inspiration cards and swapped them. Very fun! Thanks for commenting and liking my bracelet.
