What I made: Shades of Pink!

I have a friend , someone I used to work with when living in the Caribbean. She has been battling cancer for a year now and she is almost done or maybe done with chemo by the time this post goes live, and I wanted to surprise her with a bracelet.
I handpicked different shades of pink for this bracelet and used sterling silver spacers and added a toggle clasp.

My wish is that every time she wears it , it brings her a smile and for her to never forget how courageous and brave she has been through all this order.

Artbeads design challenge: Colors of Fall

As an Artbeads design parnter . This time we celebrate the Colors of Fall.   My inspiration comes from the gorgeous colors of the leaves. I am always amazed at the beautiful  shades of reds, burgundy, dark greens, yellows and browns. My youngest one finds the most gorgeous leaves while playing outside, he keeps them for me and  in his own words "maybe you can get inspired mom and make something beautiful". 

For this sassy bracelet I  choose glass beads I picked out  these 10 mm faceted fire-polish Beads in a Smoky and Dark Bronze color.  I added for extra sparkle Swarovski  crystals  in Indian Red, Light Colorado Topaz, Mocca , Smoked Topaz  and Swarovski pearls in Bordeaux it is a interesting mix of different colors and textures all working together. I wirewrapped each one and added it to a sterling silver chain I bought recently from Artbeads.
