Arts and Crafts: Adventures in Beadwork
A friend gave me a significant quantity of hematite beads (yay, hematite!) a while ago. I finally made it to my local bead shop to acquire tools, and spent today making this!
It’s not perfect, but it’s done, and it’s wearable, so I declare victory!
I love hematite, and really can’t have enough of it on my person. This bracelet feels quite nice against my skin, and fits well with my energies, so I’m quite pleased!
I have much more hematite, and another of the magnetic closure, so I’ll be making a second (and somewhat better) bracelet to match this one. I’m going to wait until next weekend, though—even if I didn’t have to go back to work tomorrow, I need to give my hands some time to recover. Also, crimp bead covers are tiny silver pieces of evil.
