I had this design in my head for a while. But other projects came along and I postponed production of this bracelet.
The links were created by fusing fine silver wire. For the fusing process I am using kitchen torch and work with an open fire. I have a safe place inside my garage, where I am fusing silver. But I can't do it with my 2 years old son on my side. I created the links one day, while my son was in the morning school. (I think I'll describe the fusing process in an other article, if someone is interested).
So links were done. 2 days ago while I was sorting my beads, I came across these fresh water pearls sticks. Why didn't I created the bracelet yet? I have the links done, so what's the matter?
With a fresh energy right that morning I finished this piece. And I love it!
The bracelet is for sale in my on-line shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/msaly

Custom Piece - Hot Air Balloon
I just created a custom piece.
The assignment was to create a wedding gift for the bride. It should be in sterling silver and it would be cute to try to incorporate hot air balloons or an illusion of hot air balloons in to the design. She loves pink and red.
What do you think? How did it turned out?
