I just love chain mail and viking knit, so I decided to combine them in a unique design which also mixes metals, which I love to do. I think the copper makes the silver come alive. I am always shopping and keeping my eye open for found items to use in my jewelry. I was in home depot the other day and came across crimp connectors made for electrical wires. I think they are so cool looking, don't you think they look great in the bracelet? I have a thing for charms and dangles. I used a hill tribe silver connector bead along with a Chinese ceramic fish bead, I beautiful cobalt blue AB crystal and a little hand hammered disk. They give the bracelet a great feel as well as a beautiful look. The little frog is hand carved from the Philippines. I go to the same booth at the Gem and Mineral Show that comes to town in a few weeks. I have always loved their carvings and look forward each year to picking up a few. This year I'm so mad! I will be in Genesseo to take a well earned long weekend, to relax regenerate before the rest of the show season. I am going to have to send my granddaughter to the show and hope she is able to find the crazy stuff I love to get.
I often times go on a tangent, but don't you think this bracelet turned out grea
