Busy with bracelets



Yesterday I whipped out eight bracelets using leftover stones from a variety of projects.  They're all about the same length, in a variety of colors and patterns, depending on what I had available that worked with them.
Picture-taking didn't turn out too well as you can see--the camera won't focus on the foreground, whether it's the front of the bracelet or just the bracelet in general, only the background or the back of the bracelet, no matter what I tried.

Gothic Garnet


This necklace uses up the last of one strand of the dark gray-and-red Bloodstone, accented by some beautiful Garnet.  I used gunmetal findings to finish, and this necklace kind of had a gothic feel, hence the name.  Growing up, the gothic style kind of had an appeal for me (not the makeup, but some of the clothes and the colors), and those colors still draw me nowadays.  This is one of those "multipurpose" necklaces.  For me, it would be a short necklace; for most, a choker; and it is simple and practical enough even a guy might find it appealing to wear.
