Gold Lace Bracelet – day 216

This is the gold version of wire lace crochet, this time I used tiny olive shaped paper beads and accented with 3mm tiger’s eye beads.  Mixing natural stones with paper beads will just take your paper bead jewelry up a notch!  I am sharing with you a video I did on a kit I have on my etsy shop, just for inspirations 🙂
