This is another commission piece. Above is the completed bracelet - it's made of tumbled glass and hand crafted hinges.
On the wrist.
Originally the clasp looked like this (above). It was a wee bit big for Miss Vicky's tiny wrist, so I made it smaller by re-doing the clasp. I learned how to make this clasp on "The Bead Scene" Garden Gate Clasp tutorial from Tuesday. I changed it a bit to suit the rectangular shapes of the glass...

That's a gorgeous piece! I really like the way the curvy links offset the rectangles- gives it some softness. Lovely :: lynn
What a neat piece. From a distance in the last photo, the glass pieces look like little coffee mugs joining up in friendship. Or beer mugs lined up on the bar, in friendship.
Love the glass - very colorful & fun!
Just wondering...should I be worried...my daughter just bought herself a rock tumbler (she's 12) and wants to make jewelry. She has collected rocks since she could pick them up...just curious if this is the way you started out - now, not that I mind at ALL that my daughter is artistic and might want to become a jewelry maker someday (I'd rather love it) HOWEVER I want to start preparing her father.....he had planned on a well paying, stable job - lol!!
hee hee hee - oh well
And, by the way, our aunts are VERY fun & we love them bunches :) And, we have several airstreams in our backyard everyday - not ours mind you, but they are there! They are the coolest things in the world - someday we'd love to get one and gut it and it would be "The Summer Kichen Girls on the Road" How about that?!!
Have a great day Rachel!

I DID have a rock tumbler as a child, and that is exactly how I tumble my glass now (except now it's just three days in the tumbler with some sand...)
You girls crack me up!
Very fun! You do have a gift indeed.
