Maize bracelet
About this design:
I had gotten some summery charms to add to this but when the seed beads all got combined I didn't want to add anything else!!! It reminds me of this beautiful rainbow heirloom corn I saw this fall!!
Components:
Seed beads and memory wireRead the comments (or add your own)

Julie Shane says:Yes! It does look like rows of colorful corn. When I do add a dangle to a memory wire bracelet, it’s only a bead and a charm hanging from one of the ends. Subtle but noticeable.

Kate says:LynnEileen, I agree– it’s GLOWING from my vantage point as well. Loving the simplicity of this piece. It’s reminding me of my childhood..and the TV show Jem & The Holograms. Great eye for color ErinSue!
