Mod West

My entry to the local museum's miniature art show (it was accepted!). Opening is this Saturday night, so I get to wear a fancy dress and pretend to be upscale for a couple hours while sipping champagne. :)

I made the base of the bracelet in right angle weave, then embellished the windows on the edges with round shell beads. I wanted to incorporate the ever-popular Southwest combo of coral and turquoise in a slightly different way. I used heishi beads of both, but turned them on their sides, securing them with a seed bead. This way, the piece looks like it has dots (my 60s mod inspiration).
