This is a bracelet by Mikki Ferrugiaro. She is know for funky basket, bowl and vase designs. I decided to challenge myself with this design, something different from her. Whoo boy, I am lucky I have any hair left! (You can even see a piece of it stuck in the bracelet in the video lol.) But, I conquered it, now on to the next thing!

Finished and i did do the anklet in spiral bead rope (when I first posted i wasnt sure what the anklet would be yet)

I made a thing. I had some grey pearls from an old necklace, so I started square stitching around one. The more you stitch, the more it cups. So, I thought, "what if I make a ball with two of them?" So I did. Then I stuffed it with bubble wrap (because what else would you stuff a bobble with?) Stole a teardrop pearl off of an old pin, and there you go!

You love her videos on youtube, join me as I talk with Kelly Dale from Off the Beaded Path about the changes she's seen in the beading world over the past 20 years! The interview will be live next Wednesday, Nov 18 at 12:30pm EST. Check the calendar for the time in your timezone. The live interview is open to Premium and VIP members. The edited recording is available to everyone on Youtube. Post your questions for Kelly below if you can't join us live.

I received my bead box yesterday. Thank you @Linda Sortino, it’s beautiful 😍
