7000 Bracelets of Hope Blog Hop party

The much awaited Saturday is here! I've been keeping a little secret that I was dying to divulge ;-) Mr. C has also decided to participate and made a bracelet of his own.



Selecting the beads proved to be a daunting task, since blue is my favourite colour and I profess to be a bonified hoarder of blue beads. I decided to play around a bit with various beads and findings to see what works.





Mr. C on the other hand prefers vibrant colours and contrasting combination so he had to go through his entire stash to find something more subdued. He selected two lovely shades of blue satin string (rat tail) and paired them with some lovely metal leaf adorned beads.




Here is the entire list of blog hop participants. I invite you to pop over and take a look of what others have created.

    I had a terrible time choosing just the right beads as well. My bead table was a disaster for a week until I narrowed things down. Thank you for sharing that tidbit. I thought it was just me.

    Your bracelets are both beautiful. You and Mr. C done good!

    TesoriTrovati: this style of knotting is known as Korean knotting. Cetic knotting is also a very similar art form.
