Simple wirewrapped loops, glass beads, and Thai silver shine in this easy and elegant bracelet. Designer Marcella Austenfeld writes, "I came across borosilicate (boro) beads at the BABE (Bay Area Bead Extravaganza) show and Thai silver drops. Not long ago, I re-discovered the beads mingled in my stash, and I thought of the rock band Train song titled Drops of Jupiter. I dont know what Drops of Jupiter are, but this is what I envision them to be." A photo of this Beading Daily exclusive bracelet appeared in Easy Wire magazine. |
