Ocean Blue Sculpted Bead and Paracord Bracelet

I've been making sculpted beads to use in the paracord bracelets I've been making.  I'm a pretty solid fan of using dark brown for a lot of the earthy colored beads.  Sometimes I forget that people like to wear jeans and that many times, the colors in the beads look great with a blue cord.  This bead has some pretty ocean blue colors in it and also some hand drawn or etched in designs.  It was sanded and buffed to this shine.




I'm always trying to find fun paracord colors to use with my beads.  I will order or pick up many shades of colors and this blue is just different.  I call it my ocean blue!  Thanks for looking!

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
