and to the LAMPWORK folder. The first five photos in there are the bracelet. If you click on the smaller photo, they will enlarge. These are photos of the very first big piece of jewelry I ever made with lampworked beads.



It has over 50 lentil beads made with fall colors and sprinkled with Raku frit. The beads were added with copper pins and wires to a copper chainmail bracelet. The beads were made to move and "fall" like leaves and when falling they expose the bare "branches" of the copper chainmail bracelet underneath.



I was pretty happy with it when I finished it.



I made it for a "Fall Colors" challenge bracelet for my ISLAGA, my bead organization, but I didn't get to the meeting! WAHHH!!!!

AWESOME! I love all the lentils together like that with the chain maille. I bet it makes the most delightful noise as the beads chink, chink against one another! LOVELY!!

Thanks, Carol!!

Thanks, Jerri. There're some problems with using copper but it was what I wanted to use for that particular challenge. Thank God my daughter knows how to make maille. :)
