But, it was worth it. This design comes from the Silver Waves class with Janice Berkebile of Wired Arts. My hands are tired and sore - long days of typing followed by bending and forging thick wire is tough! By the outcome is wonderful. I've made two necklaces and three bracelets!
The necklace I made for my mom has a glass bead hanging from the center piece. She and I found the bead at Bead & Button from Lily Rose Beads. James has some really great glass beads. Typically glass beads are made on a mandrel and are solid, but this bead is actually blown and is hollow. And the photos on his site are much better than mine below.
I'll see you back here on Tuesday. Have a splendid weekend, everyone.

Aloha! Thank you so much for your nice comments! I see another beader has found me! How fun! It's usually quiet on my blog besides family and friends and now in a week two of my beadie sisters have found me :)
I LOVE this bracelet! I always say I need to do more with wire but only do the basics. There are so many cool tutorials on Eni Okens site and I have the DVD Tribal Treasures by Sharilyn Miller which is all about wire..but do I ever do anythign about it? Noooo!
