Sometimes you get what you aim for, sometimes what you get is experience.
What you are looking at is the 5th attempt to attach a eye closure to this bracelet I took on as a commission. I think I am finally pleased with this. I will add a few drops of superglue just to be certain it doesn't pull off, although I have fashioned a hook that embeds in the middle of the depth of the braid.
I will attempt the hook portion on the other end of the bracelet tonight.
I'm not sure I like this. Now that I have my wire, I have to find some way to connect these links. A simple jump ring will slide around too much, making all the wired-on beads rotate to the bottom of the rings. I don't want that, so I have to come up with something else.
Seems like all I made last night was scrap wire. Sigh.
I was just fooling around late Sunday night, and I fused this wire piece together. I'm left with the inevitable question:
Now what?
Stay tuned.
