What was your inspiration?

I wanted to create something dainty and feminine for either a bride to wear as her something blue or for the mom-to-be.

What are you most proud of?

That it came out exactly like what I had in mind. I actually love it so much, that I'm thinking of making one for myself, even though it's been ages since I was the bride or mom-to-be, but I do have very fond memories of those sweet days.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's important to keep your beadwork tight, but not too tight as the beads will bunch up too much. Also, make sure you pick up enough beads in the beginning to make your loop so that you can add on a jump ring and a clasp later. The first one I made the loop was too small and I had a hard time getting a jump ring in there.
