nancykathryn says:I’m not a huge fan of green personally, but I do like the way you have put the colours together here. Very pretty. With a cool white dress, this would be lovely.

M Tokumaru says:I love this bracelet. I am currently negotiating with the Texas School for the Blind to teach a jewelry-making class. This would be perfect, because we could use a variety of shaped beads to make the bracelet very tactile. Thanks for sharing.

Nancy Mc says:This is very beautiful! The shades of green remind me of budding tree leaves in the Spring.
The toggle is the perfect finishing touch.

Ravensgrl says:Really beautiful piece! Did you use separate crimp tubes for each strand, or bring them together with a larger connector to finish off the ends??

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Very nice! Great mix of beads with some varying textures.

KatsAllThat says:I love all shades of green…you matched them well and then added so much texture with the different styles of beads..great job.

Eeka Mouse says:Ravensgrl: if you look carefully at the enlargement, you can see 1 crimp per strand. It’s more secure this way, and more flexible. It also looks like all the strands are attached to a jump ring, which is attached to the clasp. This would also add to flexibility.
I like how all the various shades, sizes, & shapes play together in this one! I may try something along these lines… someday…

Danielle F says:Funny! I’m not a fan of green either, but for some reason, I have TONS of green beads. I have forbid myself to buy any more. I need more yellow in my stash…good spring color.
