Well, I managed to narrow it down to two - Swiftly Changing Waters & the Purple Snake Bracelet. Swiftly Changing Waters - the colors and that very, very kyool way of turning the end into a multi-length clasp. Purple Snake Bracelet - I've never seen that weaving done before and I LOVE the curves & undulations. :-)<BR/><BR/>Bright Blessings & Good Fortune! :-)<BR/>-BirdPhoenyx Ravenswinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316005223260076622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-31099558953370005952009-03-11T19:40:00.000-07:002009-03-11T19:40:00.000-07:00Ruthie's is a great blogging friend and always has...Ruthie's is a great blogging friend and always has something positive to say.

It's great that you use it as fuel for the artist holding court in your brain. <BR/>My favorite is the purple royalty rope neclkace. The spiral beading is *amazing* and the texture of the black agate is just plain cool. The whole thing is elegant and edgy and fully awesome. <BR/><BR/>Oh why is peyote stitch called that? I'm sure I could google it but you know I'm right here. ;)SalvagedExpressionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735098369082767943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-62740891528495039102009-03-11T11:06:00.000-07:002009-03-11T11:06:00.000-07:00You are so right about everything you say about Ru...You are so right about everything you say about Ruthie!
