The crafting from my kitchen bar had been going very well…until
I messed up a bracelet I was working on with what I can only guess was my brute
force strength.
I recently picked up a “Bead Style” magazine for some
inspiration and it served its purpose. The particular article that struck my
fancy was about a right-angle weave. I’m not sure if the weave I ended up doing
was like the one in the article but I liked how it was coming together. I used pearl beads and small seed beads.
Then I broke it. I was so excited about the weaving that I
hadn’t thought about attaching a clasp to the end. (Even though the
instructions in the magazine article clearly show how to make that the first
thing you do).
I broke the thin wire when I tried to thread a small jump
ring into the bead on the end. So much for my "easy" way to add a clasp.
Maybe my creativity will find a way to salvage
it, we’ll see.
