Coiled Bakelite Bangle

It has been a frustrating week in wire with many projects and ideas hitting frustrating road blocks due to my inability to problem solve my design ideas. When this bangle was finally completed I laughed and dance around the living room for a good 3 minutes. The design was actually a compromise with the wire from my original idea but I love it, and the foundation of the design is an excellent jumping off point for more development.

    It IS a wonderful bangle, and I'm glad you celebrated it! You perfectly described the frustrations I'm experiencing this week as well... I have NEVER wasted so much copper in one day as I did Monday.

    Beautiful!
    I never thought that coral would complement copper this beautifully. And your coils are just perfect (not to speak of the coiled beads). Wonderful clean and smooth work. It's gorgeous.

    Thank you Sue! This one made me especially happy:)

    Angie, I was so discouraged when I began work on this bangle it was very half hearted and with out hope. I hope your time of trials end soon:))

    Audrey, Sometimes two heads are better than one:) Sometimes the designer must bend, instead of the wire:)

    and Thank you!!

    Thank you Valentine. These bangles are terrific for lampwork beads because of the large hole size and it's a nice way to show case a special bead.
