I really loved the colors, but as you can see, I didn't have enough beads to finish the bracelet (in my size, that is). I wanted this to be one of the colorways for my kits, but I couldn't find the 4mm beads that are in the curves in bulk. Instead, I ordered some really pretty medium amethyst AB Thunder Polish crystals.
When they came in, I wasn't sure if they would look good with the other beads. Tonight, I made a bracelet to see how they look:
They're a little subtle, but I think they're pretty.
In case you're wondering if I made the whole bracelet this time:
One reason I made the bracelet was to test the colors. Other reasons include: purple (duh!), testing that my kits will have enough materials and Fireline, going over the tutorial another time, and so I had something to blog about tonight. :)
Tomorrow I'm going to make earrings and samples of all the colorways.
The Madison Art Glass and Bead Show is in just a few days! I sent out a newsletter about my involvement in the show and my other upcoming events. Did you get it?
