femme romantic pink collection wrap bracelet

beautiful finished collection bracelet in the sunshine
 so, usually i ignore the pink end of things. i like unisex or grungy far more and its a bit of a strange thing for a guy to make such girly things. or thats my mindset when i find myself looking at pink beads that just arent right for what i want to do. oh and these are SO shiny and really quite saturated pinks.

this first round of the bead sorting and stringing went well enough. i like the colors together in the amounts that they are. but it was too hello kitty for me. i decided to add in brass accent beads randomly. they are antiqued so they help to offset the pure shine of the pearls. sorry guys didnt get a photo before the additions after.



 a few angles and different backgrounds to show how much of a feeling change what the bracelet is with causes.

after i added the brass beads it was still a little too plain, so i went and looked through my grandmothers cloth stash, it was quite extensive! and i chose a few fabrics to add on as bows to add texture and further make the whole bracelet match itself better. i think that the cloth strips really make the bracelet.
