Next, a fab, albeit very time consuming, bracelet design by Marcia Balonis named "Whistle Stop", taught by Sandy Taylor @ Bead Street. It's a gorgeous pattern, and well worth every moment I spent beading away... I wanted a mixed metal look, so used matt silver lentils on top/gold sb and copper/orange/redish fire polish w/reddish/brown bricks. I don't know the exact color names of what I used, so don't you love how precise my descriptions are? Ha. This bracelet feels really nice on the wrist too - it's one of those that feels great next to the skin and it moves with you.
This is a Vezsuzsi design named Leo Bangle, also taught by Sandy Taylor at Bead Street. I'm having a devil of a time getting a decent pic of this bracelet. It doesn't matter if its taken inside or outside. It wants to show more pink tones, but it's really a true beautiful red--disappointing. It drapes beautifully around the wrist because it is designed to be a bangle, but I made it a clasp instead. I like to be able to size it closer to my wrist size and bangles don't work so well for that.
