Nothing is quite like having to sort through your junk to make you want to tie up loose ends and finish all those unfinished projects. I found one the other day that has been 4 years in the making.
You see, in June of 2006 I got a chance to go to the big bead show in Milwaukee. I spent way too much and found a ton of cool things but one, or 2 actually, stood out in my mind. The first was a really neat clasp made by Qui, a company apparently no longer in business as I can't find them on the net anywhere now. It wasn't a cheap clasp either and it's silver. Then there were these black agate dragon beads in a stretchy bracelet I found in a bin at the Rings and Things booth. I put them away for a move and forgot about them until a year or so ago. I had taken them out, an idea hit me, I pulled all the components out and placed them together in a tray and promptly forgot about them again.
While I was cleaning up for this next move I found them again and tonight, well, I decided to finish the project.
Behold....... the bracelet it took over 4 years to make:
And I made it just the right size for my wrist, my skinny, abnormally thin sized wrist, so it's not going to be put up for sale ;)
