Ocean Motion Bracelet

Description

This is a freeform peyote stitch bracelet woven with a lot of texture and is a wearable piece of art. You will want to keep touching it when you are wearing it.

Made up of Toho, Czech and Delica seed beads in sizes ranging from 11 thru to 6, the colours wash across the bracelet. Palest yellows shade through to dark topaz with an occasional burgundy bead or Swarovski crystal. It measures 6 1/4" long (16cm) and is 1 1/2" (4cm) wide. It will fit a wrist between 5 1/2 - 6" (14 -15.25cm) most comfortably.

My inspiration was the motion of the ocean which I can see and hear all day every day as I live at the shore. I've long been fascinated by the interaction of the ocean and the shore it washes over. The motion of the ocean reorganizes the composition of the shore with every wave. The bracelet is meant to reveal that one small moment when the ocean has backed away and left behind visible evidence of having been there. The next wave it's all gone and reorganized.

An organza bag will be included to keep it safe when it's not on your arm.
