A long time ago a wove the band for this bracelet. This past weekend I had a chance to make the beads for the ends. It was a really nice project to work on.

WHAT INSPIRES ME
Helen's List
BEADS! I love beads and started making jewelry stringing beads. My friend Marlene and I were sitting at the lunch table at work one day drooling over a rather pricey silver and turquoise bead bracelet in the Sundance jewelry catalogue. I said "I can make that". Marlene said "No way" and I was off and running. Marlene is my style guru and she's always in my thoughts when I'm at my jewelry bench.
Laurie Peters - I take class with Laurie at the University of Vermont where I work. She sets the bar high and is constantly supporting us to improve our craftsmanship and find our voices as artists. She makes class time fun and challenging. Besides that, she walks the walk as well as she talks the talk. I'm constantly in awe of what she knows, her exquisite work and her generosity with her students. Thank you, Laurie! You can see a bit of Laurie's work at the Grannis Gallery website and in person at other galleries. http://www.grannisgallery.com/artists.php?artistcontent=lauriepeters.php
Harold O'Connor - I took a workshop with Harold last year....what a great guy - accessable, quirky sense of humor...just a lovely, down-to-earth man who makes the most incredible, singularly, unique jewelry. It's modern and tribal and out of this world, mysteriously beautiful. Here's a link to his website: http://www.haroldoconnor.com/If you get the chance to do a workshop with Harold - jump! It's a great experience.

Awesome Bracelet!!!! How did you do the weaving?

Hey Anthony: This looks terrific. Do the beads just meet or is there a mechanical connection?
Nice desplay on the pottery piece, too.
I have (again) not been working much in metal but have been doing more sewing. Gotta go where the muse leads.
