American Dream

  « My Current Designs

(Bracelets)

American Dream With Independence Day here in the states approaching, and the celebration of Memorial Day this weekend, it's only natural that my thoughts wander to the patriotic. To design my vision, I've taken a lovely set of lampwork from Melanie Moertel. It's not the traditional bright red, white and blue, but a subtler set in deep burgundy, rich navy blue and ivory on a transparent amber base with swirls of dark amber and some whimsical flowers that added a bit of coral. Each bead is a piece of art in itself. Each time you wear it, you will go back to study the beads and find a new detail to enjoy.

Have you decided which bead is your favorite? Notice the sterling leaf beads that brings a element of the earth to the florals into focus.

Here'a a full view on a lighter background so as to see the colors in a little different perspective. The custom tassle balances the bracelet so it will hang nicely on the wrist.
