7000 Bracelets of Hope ~ Blog hop




Well today is the day for the blog hop where we all reveal our beautiful blue bracelets!

The rules of the blog hope were that each participant had to make an adult sized bracelet in denim blue.

The bracelets will then be sent to The Global Genes Project, a group who raises funds for children suffering from rare diseases. The Global Genes Project will then send the bracelet to one of then 7000 families having children with rare diseases to show them love and support.

So without furtherado here is my bracelet.


The components of the bracelet were created using Melinda Barta's wonderful Sparkly Wheels pattern using Czech 3mm fire polished beads and size 15/0 seed beads as well as 4mm fire polished beads and some blue glass pearls.


I seriously cannot get enough of these sparkly wheels...
...they are so quick and easy not to mention oh so versatile!



Be sure to check out Lori's blog at Pretty Things to see the list of all the other participants in the blog hop. Unfortunately I could not get the links to work...
Also please be sure to check out The Global Genes Project site.

Oh my word! That is such a pretty design! I haven't used Melinda's pattern, but I have made those circles before. I agree, they are very addictive. Your colors are wonderful!
