Description
So a month from today last month was my besty friend Joyce's bday and this is her present!! Awsome- I'm exactly one month late. This bracelet took me I guess 20+ hours on a loom? Mostly cause I made the pattern my self and I used all my gray beads- It took like a week to get more. Joyce and I both are huge Zelda fans so it's perfect. Thanks to the Snap Source for making my bracelet have a sturdy button claspLeft to right : bottle, sword, arrow, Link, shield, boomerang, and ocarina.
Some people have told me the bottle looks like a penguin or a ring? What do you think? I guess only Zelda fans would know it right away.

Wow, that looks really nice :} I'm sad to say that I'm not smart enough to play Zelda; my brain is just not made for the puzzles.
The penguin does look like a bottle. I think if you had added lines on either side to symbolize the wings it might have been a bit more distinguishable.
I'm interested in how you did the buttons; I use larger beads and loops to make clasps for my wristbands.
It's great to see other people's bead work; this one is lovely!

Thank you very much! That means a lot coming from another beader. Haha and I think you mean "The bottle looks like a penguin", no worries.
The buttons are actually snaps. I had to order this contraption to attach them. Type in "Snap Source" on google and you'll see what I mean.
I worked along time on it so I wanted it to be real sturdy. I used the snaps with adhesive magnet and felt sheets that were pretty cheap, but worked real well.
I looked at your gallery and your stuff is very impressive! I also favor glass beads hahaha.

Snap Source is very interesting O.o Lately I've been thinking to start using magnets, but then I'm not sure I want to. They usually have some kind of metal on them, and I don't want that to be a problem for anyone the bead work goes to.
I saw, too, that you had some kind of backing on your bracelet. I usually have fleece, though traditionally it's leather. What material did you use?

Just Adhesive felt that comes in paper sized sheets. I just use thin magnent to make it tough but flexible, you know?

-_-. You did not?! Holy crap, this is so freaking amazing. I'm not using exclamation points because they are an understatement of my excitement.
I knew it was a bottle. Because I too am a huge Zelda fan.
