Turquoise Heart Bracelet

I read something recently about how you should make something out of what you have rather than continually buying more beads. Well, easier said than done, especially with the amazing range of beads out there.

So, the bracelet above consists of blue beads that were leftovers from the Ocean bracelet, the clear round druks were some of the first beads I ever bought and I have used countless times, the turquoise leaves flanking the clasp were for the autumn necklace, as were the opaque lemon beads (oddly showing as pale blue in this photo). The only new item is the heart.

I am also starting to gather together a collection of items that I intend to sell. It is a bit of a scarey thought. Might start with a little stall at work first.
