Sorry I'm running late as always!
Today I'm taking part in the 7000 Bracelets For Hope blog hop again, this time hosted by Erin of Elysian Studios and Christine of One Kiss creations.
This campaign is run by The Global Genes Project and aims to raise awareness and show support for kids living with rare disease, disorders or conditions, tthorough the simple gift of a bracelet.
Here is what I came up with......
A simple copper and sterling chainmaille bracelet with a beautiful lampwork bead by Laura Sparling....
(me getting a bit artsy with the photos)
And back to basics. It's a shame that in the photos you can't really see the colour differences between the silver and the copper (large rings are copper and the smaller ones silver, with a silver clasp and silver wire on the bead).
Please check out the other people taking part in this fantastic event
Have a wonderful day

ReplyDeleteI love the symmetry and simplicity of your wirework. You make it look so easy (even though I know it's not). And the focal bead you chose is so perfect: the color, the size, everything. So pretty!

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love chain maille (haven't tried that particular weave yet -- it's gorgeous!) and I love how you made this a bracelet that can truly be worn everyday.
ReplyDeleteWow.Gorgeous designs. I love the simplicity of the first one. Thanks! Tara
ReplyDeleteNiky- I love this design! I had to really look at it to understand how you put it together- wow! Thanks for mentioning about the different metals you used too, because I can tell how stunning this must look in person. Wonderful job- whoever receives this will be amazed at the craftsmanship (and wear it all the time)! Thank you so much for joining us for this hop!

So simple and so beautiful. The bead just glows!
ReplyDeleteThat bracelet is anything but simple---I think it is just GORGEOUS! I loved that lampwork bead!
ReplyDeleteAn elegant gift that goes perfectly with denim. We probably don't find elegant and denim together in the same sentance much- but I definately think you've nicked it ;)
ReplyDeleteI really adore the simplicity of your design. It's a minimalistic approach that has lots of tiny details to make it interesting, but perfect for anyone. Inspirational!
ReplyDeleteI'm positive it will be well received. :)
Very nice :) That blue beads is beautiful, and I think simplicity serves it best :) Excellent job on the chain, too :) Shame the light didn't cooperate for you.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant! I love all the tiny details in your simple but STUNNING design!
ReplyDeleteI was typing and my message just disappeared! I'll try again! ...I really, truly love your bracelet. The simple design is just what I would want to wear and wear everyday! The artbead is perfectly beautiful and gets full attention this way. I can't see the copper in the chain, as you say, but I love mixing metal colors, so I'm sure I would love that too!
ReplyDeleteLove this design. Let's the focal bead stand in the spotlight with the chain maille's detail shining through.
