Plans

The bracelet I am currently working on is not a big project.  The elements are weaves and connections that I have done previously.  I had planned finishing the bracelet this weekend or next weekend.  Of course when you make plans the universe laughs; at least this time it is with joy and anticipation.

The job that I want in the location I want has just posted and I have to get my application in today.  I have family visiting next weekend.  My beading time is what is available to cut to finish the application and get my home sparkling clean and well organized.

I have made some progress.  Here are some pictures.

I am absolutely loving the gold and red.

I have not clipped the threads on the bezel yet because I am not sure if I am going to get rid of the last row of 15/0.  They overlap a bit further than I would like onto the top carving.

I am going to orient the cinnabar with the narrow side to fingertips and elbow, wide side to the left and right of the wrist.  The hole in the cinnabar runs through the narrow sides, that is, it is oriented wrong for the bracelet design.  I need to run the thread back through the side beads and through the drilled hole to firmly anchor the bezel.  The reorientation is the only untried part of this bracelet.

See you in two weeks.
