Not newly made, but newly photographed

I made this piece wayyyy back in May, right before Mom came down for Mother's Day weekend. It's based on a pattern for the "Diagonal Lines" Brick Stitch bracelet that was once featured in the 2003 August issue of Bead & Button.
I adapted it to a longer strip, and only embellished on the bottom edge, which gave it a nice natural curve. I used a SS 4-prong slide clasp, and Mom LOVED it! :D

Sits nicely, right at the base of the neck.

Cubes, 2mm firepolished crystals and 15/0 Charlottes in bronze metallic A/B.
The cubes required a LOT of culling due to their irregularities in length, and lots of chipped corners. I've tried these with the Japanese cubes, and they still required quite a bit of culling.

Another piece I made a while back was a custom order, after the customer saw my bracelet samples for the ANPT article I submitted. I must say, it turned out quite nicely. The only problem was that the resulting bead-knit fabric tended to loosen up and the choker would start to droop right below the neckline. Nothing a little black cotton lining couldn't fix!

A mélange of both regular and Charlotte cut size 8/0s in gunmetal grey with a 5-prong SS slide clasp.

So, there you go, a little newnes in the eye candy department. :)
Hope you like them. Let me know what you think of the knit choker, that's all my own, and I'm pretty proud of that. :D
