Day 4.



Day 4- Bracelet.

Ingredients:

1 8 inch heavy sterling silver Anchor Link chain.

8 Handmade lampwork beads.

4 Handmade polymer clay roses. (2 yellow, 2 blue)

53 Sterling silver beads, caps and spacers.

3 Vintage glass beads.

11 Swarovski crystals.

28 Sterling silver headpins.

1 Freshwater pearl.

1 6mm round aventurine bead.

1 Large Czech faceted orange glass bead.

Turquoise-- blue, green and yellow. (some dyed, some stabilized, some natural.)

4 hours. At least. I took some breaks. I enjoyed making this bracelet, it's the perfect piece for the last day of Summer vacation. Hot weather, tropical colors, lots of texture, big, bold beads.
It's a heavier piece but it's comfortable- the chain is large and the headpins are strong. I wouldn't wear it playing golf or typing all day, but dancing or a fashionable day on the lake? Sure!
