Tonight's jewelry project

[firecat]

(More accurately, the jewelry project of the past month - I posted a work-in-progress photo on Valentine's Day):

Seed bead cuff with vines, based on "Victorian Ivy Leaf Charm Bracelet" in Art of Seed Beading by Elizabeth Gourley, Jane Davis & Ellen Talbott.

The book project calls for charlottes (size 13 seed beads with a facet), but I used size 11 and size 15 seed beads.

Ooh! I really like the third picture. It gleams...

Thanks! The red beads are silver-lined and they really do gleam.
