Cuff Update



So far, I didn't like the bareness of the aventurine, plus it was just not textural (is that a word?) enough for me. So, added some 15s in a peyote bridge, in peridot colors, then went back between the bridge connectors of the original 15s, and added a second line of peyote, but using peridot chips as the middle bead, between two aventurine colored 15s.

And here is the clue for the support of this bracelet- you should be able to figure it out, now!

I love all that texture you/ve created and it's such a help being able to see the bigger picture too. Your cuff is going to be a real stunner!!

Hey Gypsy! Your beading is magical. Peridot is my birthstone -- it is a lovely gem. Can't wait to see this when it's completed. I'm a fellow Northcarolinian - live over toward Raleigh -- LOVE LOVE LOVE Asheville. You are so blessed to be living near such an inspirational and ecclectic area. My favorite restaurant over there is the Mediterranean restaurant -- that has the belly dancers -- know which one I mean????? Also love Malaprop's bookstore. You lucky girl!
