Bling bling

Today, just a simple bracelet I've made a while ago. As I finally managed to send it off today as mom's belated birthday present, I can finally reveal it publicly, too :)
First, I made the framework of creme glass wax beads, between which I added shimmering glass beads in step two of my project. To finish the whole thing off, I beaded the whole thing with shimmering rocailles beads. 
I've also used the rocailles to create a loop for the clasp. That way, the loop would be a little bigger than the usual metal rings that come with clasps, which makes the tricky task of closing ones bracelet alone a little easier. 
As my mom is not a typical jewelry-wearing person, I'm not sure whether I'll be ever able to convince her to bling up her wardrobe a little bit, but well... We'll see :)
A little contribution to the July collection of Create in Austria - artwork created by Austrians and/or in Austria.

And as the beads I used somehow remind me of bubbles, a couple of matching shots of the July lunar eclipse.
