Peaceful Coexistence Bracelet

Since I had a weekend off, I finally got around to making a bracelet that I am very happy with. With so many beads and so few ideas about how to put them together.....I tried to make it simple for myself and came up with a theme that I really liked. I have put off posting my bracelets because I am really not that talented in putting the beads together in a design (my talents like elsewhere LOL)

It's all Black and White with "shades of Gray" ......

My Peaceful Coexistence Bracelet

Very serene and beautiful!

Well, if you say so yourself, but I would certainly fix a withering stare on anyone who'd claim you were not talented to put beads together...

Especially love the "cheeky" black bead, and very curious to learn about the significance of the silvers you chose!

It's wonderful Kathy, beautifully balanced with a lovely serene flow and a perfect kick of black!! Love your little sock monkey with his crossed legs (so would I on a shades of grey bracelet ) ~ I collect sock monkeys, I need one of those!

Gorgeous combo, I love black and white deisgns. Your black 'Dillo is lovely, very unusual.

Shouldn't you have a token red bead for "Shades of Grey"? Beautiful bracelet though

This is a great combo- I think you're great at putting them together if this is what you can come up with!

I agree, this is very serene. The grey tones down the black and white beads. Will have to try this myself.....thanks for the inspiration!

I like it!

That's a lovely bracelet, Kathy. I never thought of adding gray to the black and whites either. Brilliant.

I love your bracelet and really love the sock monkey bead. It's so cute!

You should take more photos of your bracelets. This one is gorgeous.

beautiful bracelet

Love it !

This is a sock monkey. This bead brings back memories of my childhood and my kid's toys. Peaceful innocence of childhood was the idea for adding it to the bracelet.

Very well put together

In honor of the sock monkey, you might consider a red bead or a silver bead with a red stone in it. He definitely seems to have inspired the colors in your design. I love how the black and white bring out the warmth of color in the grey beads. Your white beads look like they just washed to shore. I also appreciate the play of the stripes and dots together. Thank you for posting your beautiful beads.

Mavis and Nancy, you are both right! I will definitely add a red bead. What wonderful, thoughtful ideas! I can see that there is so much more to a design than just stringing beads . Thanks to all of you for your comments. I am inspired.

I think your bracelet is just perfect Love the little monkey
