black and white twirly wrap bracelet
My hands made this black and white twirly wrap bracelet. There are 11 beads which vary in size, measuring approximately 10 mm x 9mm. Between each bead is a length of silicone tubing. These are on a length of memory wire which acts like a spring. The total length of the bracelet is approximately 14". To wear the bracelet you simply wrap it around, it fits all wrist sizes.
Each bead is individually made by me! There is no paint on any of my beads, just glass upon glass upon glass. Each bead is 4 - 8 layers of glass. Around layer 3 I roll the bead in fine silver leaf, then encase it in more glass. When the bead is large I mash it flat so that the silver disperses. This is what gives my beads the shimmering transparency and sparkle.
Please remember the jewelry looks larger than life in the pictures which is why it is important to check the size. I have tried to capture the colours as accurately as possible but many monitors vary.
