My Favorite Bracelets

This bracelet is dear to my heart for the simple reason that these are my first ever lampworked beads! I took a class several years ago and can totally see how people get addicted to that three dimensional form of color play. (You'll notice I stuck to my go-to palette.)

The beads aren't anywhere near perfect but I wear them with pride. I worked hard for those little babies! I strung them onto uber flexible Beadalon 49 with little black spacers in-between, added a clasp and called it good.

Love the bracelet...you should be proud!!!

It would would a favorite of mine to wear as well...black is as you say my"go to" color! :0)

Making lampwork beads are something I've always wanted to try but it is rather costly to "try"!
Cheers

I think your first shot at making lampwork beads turned out quite beautifully! I too took a class a year or so ago and still haven't done anything with my creations...you've inspired me to go find them in my messy studio and maybe actually get something designed with them!
