Great job! This may sound weird, but someone was trying to describe a bracelet they wanted and I couldn't figure it out- but that's it! Did you talk to my mother in law ? Steve

It's a piece from my father's collection. Last

Hey, all! Thanks for the kind replies! I've been offline the last couple of days doing taxes. Ugh. Hope everyone's finished theirs and didn't have to pay too much!

Looks like my husband took care of a few requests... thanks, Last!

Rockyraccoon, the beads I bought a few years ago on eBay. My memory isn't good enough to remember exactly what they were, but as I have two other batches... one a deep green/blue and one that's purple and blue together... I'm thinking colored glass beads.

I do like how this one turned out. That clasp is a LOT of work! Whew! I learned how by watching Reuther's free video, then just changed it a bit to match what materials I had available. Rocklicker, maybe your MIL has seen his video?

Oh, and I can't wait until my wire order gets here! I realized that my swirls on the wraps weren't coming out pretty like Reuther's because he was using very different wire! The square wire I was working with was 20 gauge half-hard and he was using 21 gauge dead soft! I can't wait to try it again.

This is SO addicting! I love it!
