Green Mix Bracelet
About this design:
My mom helped with this piece. She loves things in multiples, even beads. She helped me design the piece by picking put the beads, and putting them the way she thought they looked good. I did help edit the line-up so the collaboration became what it is today. I think she did a wonderful job, and it is actually one of my favorite pieces.
Components:
green glass, acrylic, and vintage lucite, memory wire, gold roundsAdditional Images:
