There are three flowers and a lot of fringe. The crystals on the fringe provide some added sparkle - always a good thing in my book.
Because I made the band longer than I needed to, I had to adjust the placement of the embellishment so that it's slightly off-center. On my wrist, it is centered.
I think the cherry blossoms would make cute earrings.
I decided to freeform the placement of the flowers and fringe instead of following the placement on the instructions exactly. I also changed up the layout of the flowers. The instructions called for the green-ish flower to be between the other two.
My flowers and fringe are also placed more tightly together than in the instructions. I like the look of them bunched up rather than spaced apart, especially when the bracelet is on the wrist. The kit for this bracelet was the mustard colorway. When last I looked, I didn't see this colorway on the Beads East site. I purchased it at Bead & Button last year.Now I have to decide what to work on next. Another Laura McCabe kit? I have a few more waiting in the wings.

That is really beautiful!
I think they would make adorable earrings too. You never cease to impress me - I don't think I could do all that fine detailed work. I'm not sure that I have the patience. :-) Maybe someday I'll give it a go.
Beautiful! I bet you'll get a ton of compliments on it!!
Just gorgeous!!!
That's gorgeous!
Success! I knew you could do it. Your eyes must be tired after that one, with all those tiny details. It turned out wonderfully and I like the adjustments you made to the pattern. Mark needs to take you out for a nice dinner somewhere so you can show it off!
Thanks, everyone! Your kind words mean a lot to me. :)
I had to take a small beading break to work on something else tonight. I am still not sure what my next beading project will be.
Wow, congratulations! This is such a romantic and sweet piece of jewelry!
Oh wow! It's gorgeous!! You have amazing patience.
