I finally knuckled down and complete my new bangle, the latest piece in my Interlocking Crystals series.

I'm really pleased as, not only does this mean I'm completely on track with my 1st New Years resolution (2 pieces already completed this year) and also my 4th with the photos I've been taking, but that I can take a break from beading around rivolis for a while!

When I started this series back in April 2010 I had no idea just how many of these components I would make, nor that it would become a series- it was only meant to be a bracelet!

But now I have beaded a whole necklace, two bangles, five pendants and many other samples (over 190 rivolis in total over 280 days, according to this snazzy date calculator I found, which means .7 of a rivoli each and every day)

So I need a little break from them, which is a shame as I have thought of a little variation I want to try...

The instructions for this bangle will be available in February as a very limited kit and then once these are all sold the instructions will be made available as a download. Make sure you sign up for my newsletter to find out when they are available and receive the discount code.
