Margie and Me - The River Sea - #24


As you probably already know Marcie's Margie and Me Challenge has kicked off for 2011.

For the first challenge of the year I chose

The River Sea - #24


The different shades of green and the hidden browns and coppers really appealed to me as they are colours I often incorporate in my designs.

Here is my creation.


I created this bracelet using Melinda Barta's "Sparkly Wheels" pattern which featured in a 
previous issue of Beadwork.


I have used size 15/0 seed beads, 3mm fire polished Czech beads as well as some drop beads.

These wheels are so fun, quick and easy to make that I already have a shopping cart full of more 3mm beads so I can make some more!


You could easily make this bracelet in a day!

The biggest problem I had was deciding what beads to use!


Be sure to check out everyone else's creations on Marcie's blog, La Bella Joya.

This looks great. I love the way you took apart the color scheme and broke it down. The connectors look so well-finished. Nice job!
