Description

_{Tutorial for making this bracelet:

This was fun! The bracelets are memory wire, to keep a neat round bangle shape, and the beads are rolled paper, each bead 1cm wide.

I used white printer paper for all of them, then I painted them with nail polish. Some are plain gold; some are dichromic purple / green; some are blue with gold crackle varnish on top; and some are blue with copper varnish sponged on top.

Plus gold coloured glass seed beads at the ends, and gold coloured daisy spacer beads throughout.

I didn't intend for them to be inspired by the Qartheen colour schemes, but afterwards I realised that was what they reminded me of (especially Daenerys in her blue dress and gold jewellery), so I guess it was probably knocking around in my little head somewhere.

(Pictured are 3 identical bracelets, stacked. Going to divide them up and give them as Christmas presents. )
