My amber bracelet is one of the few bracelets I have that remains permanently made up, so taking it apart always feels a little odd. I absolutely adore amber and these are mostly uniques, apart from a couple of the Limited Edition World Tour Amber beads, as I have 3 Baltic Gold and 1 Runes; I've not collected any of the production ambers yet.
Out of habit I started to make another all amber combo, and then stopped.
I always do this (who doesn't love an all amber bracelet) but for once I gave myself a new challenge, to finally make "that" bracelet with amber and my Daisy bead; an idea I'd had way before I ever got my first amber or my Daisy bead.
To add some spice I threw myself a curveball; I'd also acquired a new glass unique, shown above, from the recent D4E big unique sale and I was keen to use this too.
Plan B was shaping up... an amber, blue and Daisy bracelet! I set to work!!
I had to fiddle with the placement and choice of amber beads quite a lot - my beads are mostly all different but I did want some semblance of symmetry, well as much as you can have when the beads are all different shapes, shades and sizes.
It's taken a while to get used to this bracelet as it's not one of my normal colour combinations (and I've been wearing a lot of X and my black lambskin Story bracelet recently) but after a day or two on the wrist I'm beginning to appreciate it all the more.
Love your amber collection - I can see why you'd have trouble taking it apart! The blues and ambers play off each other nicely though too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy, I never get tired of looking at amber beads!
