The Grapevine

Here's a picture of a recent finished project of mine. I had seen a bracelet in the bead magazines that advertise for the bead shows out West and for some reason I really wanted to make something similar. After a few years of flipping through the magazines to find the bracelet, I finally started my grapevine bracelet with a peyote tube and then created my clumps of grapes. The leaves were attached and then it sat dormant for a year before I decided on the finishing touches. The vines were then added along with the beaded clasp. It's now becoming one of my favorite pieces.
