When I saw
KJ’s Bracelet Challenge with the beautiful bug photos I knew in an instant that the bracelet I was going to make would have to be from those beautiful beads. I purchased these beads over a year ago because their colors took my breath away. The round beads are resin and the ovals are stone, but I never found out what kind. The golden beads are AB faceted Czech glass and the leaves are dyed mother of pearl.
I choice this photograph for my inspiration.
Not only was I thoroughly inspired by these really cool bugs, I found more information about them. They are called Tortoise Beetles or Bindweed Beetles and this particular variety is found in Nicaragua (

Here’s my bracelet for the challenge.
I love a challenge, don’t you?

I really like how you combined these beads. Those little leaf shaped beads really evoke the feeling of the beetle shapes. Well done! I hope I have time to play along! Enjoy the day! Erin

Wow, this is one beautiful bracelet! The colours of the different beads work together perfectly, as if they were made just for one another and for this piece of jewelry. And the little leaf dangle adds a really cute touch. I love it!
