Tiger Eye and Pearls

Bigger Photo

About this design:

My last pearl bracelet sold so I made another one only this time I combined it with Tiger Eye. Originally I had wanted to make a Tiger Eye bracelet but everything I tried looked too dull and flat. After about two weeks I took it apart and started again. I like this version better.

Components:

12 and 24 gauge copper wire, pearls, Czech glass, seed beads

Wow,LRC…that’s a lot of work. As always,your bracelet is outstanding. I have to agree about Tiger Eye. It’s an intersting stone,but can look a little flat on it’s own. This one is very soft,and still makes a statement. I like the little pop of violet in the pearls.

Well, you know I love this, don’t you Nancy?!
As for “hopping to it”. I finished one but my computer skills (none) prevent me from posting it.

Mary, your computer skills or lack there of can’t be worse than mine. If my computer wasn’t smart and my son wasn’t handy I’d be in deep kimchee! Anyone got a crank telephone? I know how to operate one of them.
