Description (2018), 16" length for the necklace, 9" circumference for each bracelet, size 15, size 11 and size 8 seed beads in various colors, 6lb Fireline, carnelian closure bead.

I took a little interrupted Cellini project on a short vacation a few weeks ago and was inspired by the colors of the location to try this mix of deep blue, turquoise and gold with a little bit of a punchy orange accent. Unfortunately I ended up packing a needle with an eye that was too big for the 15th, so this was also a project where I could prove to myself I can still thread a teensy bead without the help of a needle (or that I am insane - not sure which!)

If you want to try your hand at the bracelet: www.etsy.com/listing/91715055/…

 Slitheryn that you are, I am shocked that you’ve not yet made a snack necklace outright using this pattern. Indeed, when I initially saw the thumbnail, that was my first thought even though I knew they were the wrong house colors.

Heh, I like the idea to do something in black, green and silver. I need to go through my stash and see if I have good colors - having to use three different bead sizes is a bit of a challenge, but I love the suggestion!

Thank you! Because the pattern uses some size 8s it works up a little faster than some other stuff!
