So for the past year or so, I’ve seen these magnetic beads in other people’s work. I asked one gentleman where he gets these very peculiar beads.

“China,” he tells me.

“Is there a website where I can go to?” I ask him.

“Unfortunately, no. You have to go to China.” he replies.

I walked away feeling defeated; I already had ideas planned in my head for such beads.

So, eventually it got put in the back of my mind, until….. I found them at my bead store!!!

And what luck, they were on sale!

Not exactly the color I’d prefer, but it’s something.

So then, I began to create… and make some mistakes. Mistakes can be made, that’s how we learn!

I made it too short, but, it’s still wearable!

All magnets connected, and looking very much like a butterfly.

Et voilà!

Typically, these pieces should be long enough to be worn both as a bracelet, and as a necklace. I made the above piece too short, so I decided to create another.

Ahhhh! Unfortunately, I made this one too long! So long that it won’t wrap completely around my wrist. This one will be redone & shortened. But as it is, it makes for a really nice choker necklace.

Until next time, lovelies.

A bientôt,

Courtney
