Chacha's new bracelet
About this design:
Just made this tonight for muah and made my mom one too. The lighting isn't too good for this but I think I have it focused. The ole eyes aren't what they used to be. I'll take a better photo tomorrow in the natural daylight---if there is any that is---supposed to be very yucky weather here in OK.
Components:
Tierra Cast toggle, greyish pearls, Swarovski crystals, SS heart and SS flower beads, twisted tornado crimps.Read the comments (or add your own)

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:I think this is beautiful ChaCha. I think I need to take a closer look at it again. This I think is where I was last night when my internet went down for faster improvement. We’ll see. Hope it just works better.
