I have failed to mention that Jesse James Beads is having a summer-long (15-week) Jewelry Design Challenge that they're calling the Summer Bead Blast. As a Design Ambassador, I have been given several weeks to participate. But, as a lover of challenges, I will try to do them all. This is week 4 of the challenge (one that I was assigned) with the prompt Multi-strand. And, this is the bracelet I created.
It really was an easy make as two of those three strands were already made! You can see how I brought the whole thing together in the video on YouTube.
The challenge prompts are being released five weeks at a time. Here's the list of the first five weeks in case you want to catch up.
And, here's some more information about the challenge.
Since I forgot to share my first makes with you, let me do that now.
For the Week 1 Summer Vibes prompt, I made a simple, fun anklet.
There's a video of that one here:
For asymmetrical design, I did a short of making a simple pair of earrings.
And, for the week 4 Memory wire/Stretch Bracelet prompt, I made a rainbow memory wire bracelet.
Though, of all the designs thus far, this week's bracelet is by far my favorite!
