Here is the completed bracelet. I added glass chip embellishments to fill out the space between the coins. A bit more bling and purple shine that does not show up here.

I also did "Spring Blossoms" on page 24 and again found the flower easy and quick to make. I did not like the way the leaf was made with peyote stitch and want to redo it with a brick stitch before I show it to you. The flower thing is cute but very small. Still I could see many of them, sort of like harebells, on a stem.

On Saturday, however, I had enough energy and creative spirit to make this, the pink/red of the "All" series. I think the excitement caused by the exclamations of joy the others had for the blue "All" necklace gave me the courage and enthusiasm to pick up the trays of beads and do this one. It is the most complicated one yet. If you look closely you can see that the two focal points are the embellished fishing lures. Had made a third one but at the last moment thought it was 'too much' and overloaded the necklace.
Monday it rained all day and I had gobs of stuff to put away but today the sun came out and I was able to photograph outdoors. I used the backside of an old hand-sewn quilt as background. I was worried the pattern would be too showy, but now feel it was better than toweling or sheets. If I have more energy tomorrow I may try it again on silk. Need to look at the printouts with my feet higher than my head to really decide what to do.
