Here it is... as promised ;-) my Black Panther Bracelet!!!! It took me a while to decide how I would make the straps for this bead-embroidered Labradorite cabochon - I knew I wanted something relatively stiff and simple, but at the same time I also wanted the joints, that would be attached to the centrepiece, to be flexible.  Up until now the only bead-embroidered bracelets I made where the cuffs which have a bronze hard base to them.... and then it came to me... why not make the straps by bead-embroidering them without the metal base!!!  sometimes I am a genius - although why I haven't tried doing this before is beyond my comprehension !!!! :-) I'm so pleased with the results that I may start making some more of this type of bracelet (without the hard base).... I definitely want to make one for myself!!!! I've really fallen in love with this stone!!!!! I have one small round cabochon left, that I haven't bead-embroidered yet....  It could be just the right thing for my bracelet... we'll see... maybe a pendant? I'll start it off and see where it leads me to.... come back and find out! :-)
