Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thanks so much for all your supportive comments!
I was going to post a pic with it draped on the wrist, but I was appalled at the wrinkles and age spots that showed up in the picture! I think something must be wrong with my camera….

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I agree, Sue — it must be your camera doing that to you! I took a photo awhile ago of my hands with some rings on them and thought “Good Lord! Who’s fat fingers are those?!?!?!” Yikes!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Hey Lynn, do you think we can get refunds on those cameras of ours??

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:I love this, Sue….great job with the wire work!! Would you mind terribly if I use your idea but just change it up a bit?
BTW, my camera must be same make as yours and Lynn’s because my pictures with my hands come out the same!!

Little Round Chick says:Your camera needs an attitude adjustment, Sue.
However, it did do a great job with your great bracelets.
