I am crazy about this bracelet! I had several different gauges of copper wire to play with, and a nice selection of blue-green stones and beads. I grabbed a few copper beads for accents, and was all set.
After forming the bracelet frame with 14 gauge copper wire, I started adding the beads, and it really was very similar to making a free-form beadwoven bracelet - wherever I saw an empty spot, I just wove some more beads into the pattern, using thin copper wire instead of Fireline!
This bracelet has a very organic feel and appearance.
It is easily adjustable by spreading the frame or squeezing it closed, and because the frame is a thick gauge, it holds its shape once adjusted.
