Glass Pearls


It's too early for this color scheme. This definitely screams fall and winter. But I came across some glass pearls today and wanted to play with them. So why not right? Let me know what you think of this.



Experimentation

So, since I fell so in love with the bracelet in my last post I decided to experiment with different colors and numbers of strands. I really am enjoying the green color scheme and love keeping this type of bracelet bulky. I tried to make one with only two strands, but I am not sure yet how I feel about it. I kind of feel it might be missing... a lot of strands. What do you think? More or less?









Aquarius Bracelet

I recently came across some old beads I never thought I would find a purpose for. Well, today i found a purpose for them. I wanted to make something tranquil and funky. Something that reminds me a little bit of water and the beach. Since the beads are glass they look like either sea glass or colors of the sky. I love the outcome of this bracelet so much, I am going to make a few different color schemes. This one's color scheme, reminds me a bit of my zodiac sign: Aquarius.





Other things that come to mind while looking at this bracelet: rock candy. Really.
