New Bracelets

Here's the newest bunch of bracelets :)

The top one has a couple really cool spacer links that I formed out of copper.

The middle one has 4 lampwork beads that I made on the torch, they are blue and green and have some silvered ivory in them.

The bottom one's color is really nice, watery blues :)
