So here's my 7000 Bracelets for Hope bracelet: a simple, beaded bangle with a touch of bling. I've come to think of it as a mullet bracelet. The "business" back is a matte 8/0 bead in right-angle weave. The "party" front includes a single row of crystal bicones in shades of blue (metallic cobalt, erinite and light azore). It's casual enough for every day, with just a touch of glamour to remind you how special you are. To see more of this bracelet, please visit the 7000 Bracelets for Hope gallery.

This was one of the first bracelets I ever wanted to make. I love everything about it: the symmetry of the beads, the way the crystal cubes catch the light, the way it feels on my wrist. These colors in particular make me think of Spring and all the good things that go along with that season.
