Wirework

Today's project is to PRACTICE !!
I made this sterling silver bracelet in a class at TLD Designs and I like it a lot. The link is called FISHING LURE. This simple bracelet is a very different look for me as my design style is usually "more is more". When I wear it I NEED another bracelet with it, but that's just me. I know there are alot of you out there who really prefer this unadorned style, handcrafted from quality materials and simple design.
I hesitated to use that word, until I looked it up in Websters'. He explains it this way; 
SIMPLE - "Consisting of one thing; single; uncombined; without embellishment; plain; unadorned."
The great thing, today we can each choose to wear what we like.  We reach a point in life when we don't need or even want to wear "what's in today, and out tomorrow". 
I'm using copper wire for practice, it costs less, and I have lots of other bracelets it will be just perfect with.

Interesting chain. Would it work to use the same gauge wire in those colored craft wires? Even copper can be costly these days.

I don't even KNOW what's in today, let alone try to wear it! We can call it artistic license. Nice bracelet.
