Dark & Brooding Img_0190

I made this bracelet some time ago, disassembled it and re-assembled it on last evening. I thought i might have shared it here before but, apparently not. Anyhoo, it's a combo of artisan OE's and Steampunkbeads and Onyx Agates. Making TB masculine can at times be a challenge but with this lot, I think i achieved my goal with little to no difficulty! afro

You have some amazing beads! It must be hard making a masculine bracelet with all of the teddy bears and hearts and teacups nowadays. You managed to do it in spades! Great bracelet.

Those steampunk beads are the best. I saved that artist as a favorite, but haven't taken the plunge yet.

Thanks for the swell comments! the lock for those interested is RBF, the OE's are Kathy Perras & Eagle Bay Designs, Lava & onyx agates are TB, Steampunk beads are bullfrog I-ching beads and the silvers are retired Chamilia.

that is stunning wonderful! Your agathes are a dream and those steampunks are really eye catching - very musculine! (but I would like to wear it too from time to time - does that mean anything..... scratch )
