Finally got my rear in gear and made a new bracelet! This is a remake of a previous wire-wrapped project, which proved too rough for my rather fragile skin. It's satisfyingly heavy and solid.

Labradorite (round beads and focal) and prehnite (square beads) with glass accents (outer edges), magnetic clasps, heavy-duty beading thread.

I did this design with silver first and liked it but wanted to see it in gold. The gold is nice too but now I want to see it in copper. . .

@strawberrieeee​ I am very flattered! I do not sell my creations at the moment, because I’m a bit buried in getting my librarian’s degree and have so little time to work on them. But you’ve given me lovely food for thought :>

And because I’m utterly incorrigible, I made yet another bracelet. Morganite with gold wire, six little raw stones. The whole thing is just under 7″ long because my wrists are tiny.

Wire-wrapping can be a wild ride. Sometimes you start with a nice, simple idea, maybe a nice plain three-stone dangle charm for a bracelet. An hour later you really like what happened, but you have no idea how you got there.
