This is exquisite Jodi. It has a contemporary vibe to it from the most unusual focal bead. I love how you framed the bead with coiled wire, like a bezel. It looks so sleek and modern.

What a wonderful piece!

Oh my, what perfect weaving! And I like the extra detail of the wires bent back, almost forming a heart, at the end of the bracelet.

Hi Jodi,

This is beautiful, your weaving and coiling is delightful, so precise, plus the bead is stunning, great job.

Vicky;)

Wow, how do you achieve such a perfect weave? I can't see a single flaw!

This is beautiful!!! The bead is spectacular and your weaving flawless. Gorgeous.
May I ask what size the bead is?

This is stunning Jodi - your wire work is impeccable - great job.

Thank you so much for all your kind words!!! Heike, the bead is 1". I am telling you, I stood at Kathy's booth for an hour, carefully examining all her beads LOL, then picking out about 10 of them. My favorites are the ones with the wire mesh!

Thank you for the info, Jodi. The mesh inside the bead and your weaving complement each other beautifully. I come back again and again to look at this beautiful bangle. (And just googled O'Gosh Buttons and am stunned - how could you only pick 10???)

I did not realize she had loaded some to her site but that is a drop in the bucket to what she has :)

Thanks for the tutorial requests! I am currently at the Bead & Button show and have had several requests for a tutorial for this bracelet so will get busy writing it once I get home next week.

Beautiful!
