Jeannie makes some wonderful polymer clay beads and pendants - like the ones pictured here that I received from her a few weeks back for April's challenge.
Each time I looked at Jeannie's pretty Peeled Paint Beads this month, I kept thinking to my self, "Greek Goddess".
So, I think that's what I was channeling when this bracelet design came to fruition.
I don't know,...what do you think?
Not sure if it's really Greek Goddess like or not.

I really like the colors though and the way it shines.
The Peeled Paint beads with their yummy turquoise color and the copper and gold tones made them fun to design with and I'm pleased with the way Jeannie's wonderful beads really stand out!
(Thank you Jeannie!)

I'm thinking I need to have a Toga party,...now that it's officially Summer in the desert,.....seriously.
It's reached over 100 degrees a few days this week and it's gonna stay pretty hot until late October,
so a Toga is probably all I'm gonna feel like
wearing for the next 6 months!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty bracelet. The wavy spacers are really great and I like the way you mixed the copper and gold tones.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I really love the copper with the gold. Those gold spacer/disc beads add just the right amount of elegance!
ReplyDeleteOh honey it can be anything you want it to be. It does make me think Greek. That clasp is to die for. My beads look very happy and I love the beads caps hugging my beads.
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating such beauty

ReplyDeletecould you also tell me where you purchase your flat disc? love them also and never saw them before. thanks
Beautiful job, Shel - I love the design and how well it showcases Jeannie's beads. Great job my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteSusan - I got my brushed vermeil disks from Anil Kumar at the Whole Bead Show in Tucson a couple of years back. You can also find them at a shop called Beadazzled I believe. I think several places sell them. Try a google search w/images and see. They're fun to work with and these were the last ones I had! :)
