A TOTAL TANGLE

 A friend gave me a beading pattern for a single, "Flat Spiral" bracelet.  I got the bracelet done and decided I didn't like the single, I wanted it doubled.  How hard could that be?  I watched someone at beading adding another row to theirs.  20 feet of Fireline later, I finally got the tangle and the two knots out and figured out how to keep the four threads I was working with from tangling again.  Six tries didn't seem unreasonable at the time.  I did have a seed bead explosion the second time I took it apart.  I told my husband this was "The Bracelet From Hell" and he said "make 2 more and it will be the bracelet from Heaven".  Mr. Positive??????

I was going to make it and give it to my sister but it fits me so I guess she's out of luck. :0(  AWW.  I guess I'll have to do number 2 and make it smaller.

This bracelet has a wonderful weighty feeling to it.  I used size 6 Fireline, turquoise size 6 pearls, size 4 bicones and size 11 silver seed beads.

BEADED BEAD AND HERRINGBONE

I made this beaded bead and decided I wanted it on a herringbone rope.  The size 11 seed beads I used were called gold metallic.  I bought them at a local bead store.  As I was working with them, the color was coming off on my fingers.  It is now a multi-color of silver and gold but it's pretty.

I wonder how much the color will come off on clothes after it's worn a while.

I want to do beading and I want to do polymer clay so why does laundry, ironing, dusting and those nasty things keep creeping in my head?  NEVER MIND, THEY'RE GONE.

Hey Booboo, I found 3 of your rubber balls yesterday.  Thanks for the memories.
