Beads!

The first bracelet I made was using lettered beads.  I put my name into a bracelet.  Although this kind of bracelet is usually for people of younger ages, I thought it would be fun.  I'm not really sure if I would ever wear it, but I like to collect different bracelets just to have and look at them.  I simply choose hemp, which is a tan colored string.  It's very different from my colored bracelets.  Some people think it's boring and dull, but I like to change it up sometimes.
Instead of choosing colored string to make my second bracelet of the week I decided to choose white string and get creative with beads!  It was no special occasion this time.  I just made it for fun.  I choose to use white string and then I decided to use blueish/purpleish colored beads.  Every other stitch I added on a bead, so the bracelet is mostly made of beads.  I wouldn't usually wear this bracelet during the winter, but it's a good bracelet to ear in the spring and summer.  Since I really want spring to come, I decided this would make me in a better mood and get me ready for it! I am in love with the beads I used because there a unique color.  There not really just one solid color.  They kind of change colors from blue to purple to even pink depending on the angle you look at it.  It would look really cool in the sun.  The white string also gives it a more summer/spring look to it.  It really puts me in the mood.  I am so ready for spring to come.  I think it's time all the snow disappears and for the sun to come out!  There were many other beads I could of chosen.  I have really cool hot pink and hot green beats that I'm thinking about making for my next bracelet.  I was thinking about making the bracelet twice as long so that it can be doubled up and look like two bracelets since that's what's in style these days.  I may make them for my cousins.  Not exactly sure yet.
