Sterling Silver Wire and Moretti Striking Red Lampwork Bracelet.39 viewsI won these gorgeous beads made by Liz at the September 2006 Bead Meet in Brissy.

Finished_Brown_and_White_Needle_Weave_Bracelet.jpg
Brown and White Needle Weave Bracelet29 viewsThis one is for my daughter Lou. It was my first attempt at this sort of bracelet, and with no tutorial or instructions apart from how to do the base and "start with smaller beads and gradually work up to larger beads...", well, it was a good way to learn I guess.
My lampwork beads, lots of seedies and Czech pressed beads throughout. And a few splatterings of Turquoise.
Brown_and_White_multi-strand_bracelet.jpg
Brown and White Multi-Strand Bracelet20 viewsAnother one for Lou. I think the needle weave one might be a bit more than she is used to wearing, so I made a backup.

A mix of seed beads, SS Beads and some glass beads. None of mine in this one. Strung on SoftFlex with Bali Silver Cones and Sterling Silver findings.

Elemental Bracelet in Blue0 viewsThe completed? bracelet.
I'll take it for a test run today and see if it needs some more teeny dangles on it or not.

Elemental_Bracelet_No_3_-_Turquoise_and_Pink.jpg
Elemental Bracelet No.3 in Turquoise and Pinks.12 viewsI sat up until 12.45am this morning rushing to get this finished so that I didn't have to do it today before I leave for Brissy. I did add one small thing before taking it's picture and I think it's done now. I love the colour scheme of it. The Polymer Clay Charms got a tad overcooked in our stupid oven, but I decided to use these two anyway. They can always be replaced later.
Elemental_Bracelet_No_2_-_Red.jpg
Elemental Bracelet No.2 in Red.17 viewsI managed to salvage the single gold Polymer Clay charm out of the overcooked bunch for this bracelet. The lampwork beads are all mine and when I make some more charms, the huge hollow lampie at the front will be replaced with one of them. I think it will be a bit heavy at the front the way it is now. Will just have to give it a test run today and see.

Making_the_Chain.JPG
gbm Aussie Charm Exchange. Aug-Oct 2007 - Bracelet Process.20 viewsNow that I have all my charms, I figure I had better get my bracelet put together.

After trialling a few different designs, I finally decided on this chainmaille weave. I hacked the directions to use split rings, and found that when you don't have the right diameter jump ring mandrel, improvise... A 3.5mm rod of Gaffer glass did the trick in this case. (No need to comment on the unevenness of the rings in the middle - it's tricky to wind wire onto a 3.5mm rod of glass using just your fingers...)

gbm Aussie Charm Exchange. Aug-Oct 2007 - Bracelet Process.27 viewsMy completed bracelet.

After some tweaking, (and some repairing - I broke one of the charms. The headpin, not the actual bead thankfully...), here it is. I like it! :-)
