The striped beads were from my stash and the pink squares, pink rounds and white rounds are all from Rings 'N Things.
All the other beads - pink Swarovski pearls and crystals, sterling silver melon beads, faceted white fiberoptic beads and Bali spacers and headpins - are from my stash.
I'm pretty happy with it even if it is a LOT of bracelet.
Here's a close-up of the clasp. It's a vintage foiled white givre crystal sent in a sterling silver box clasp and I found it at A Grain of Sand. They really have the most amazing selection of clasps. Whenever I'm looking for something a little "out of the ordinary," I head over there.
Fruit-juicey "ice cube" beads from Etsy.
More "ice cube" beads from Etsy. I just love the fun shape - I think these will be really great to design with.
Beautiful matte blue glass beads from Sue Beads.
More from Sue. I wanted some "beach glass" looking beads to go with those great wood slices I got from Rings 'N Things and looky - Sue had the perfect stuff!
Uh, obviously, I REALLY like Sue's beads LOL!
I may've gone a bit overboard. But how could I resist?
These LOOK like they could be from Sue, but actually came from a seller called Libelula on Etsy.
Okay, I know that was a LOT of beads, but hey, June was my birthday month so guess what I did with my birthday money? Yeah, really hard to figure out.
Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! I'm off to the beach tomorrow and then HOPEFULLY will get a chance to do some beading this weekend with these AWESOME beads!

Wow, now that's a bracelet that just screams I Love Pink ((G)) Sometimes it's great fun to create one of those big shoulder pad, big hair kinda pieces!! :) Gads thanks for the tip on clasps. I think I'll head on over there and do a bit of shopping :)
Enjoy the beach!! It's a great suggestion I think tomorrow is hair cuts and beach time!

That's a very pink bracelet. "Cotton Candy" is a well-chosen name to capture the light spirit of it. Great stuff!

Very pretty bracelet - I always struggle with pale colours.
I am very jealous of your new beady acquisitions.
Thanks, everyone. Hope you all had a good 4th of July weekend. I'm hoping to post pics later today of how I spent the weekend!
Absolutely gorgeous bracelet. I love the "fluffiness" it is my style;-) Great work!
