I feel lucky to have been included and really love the polymer cube bead that was chosen for me. I titled my piece 'Slowly Spring'. I live about 100 miles from the Canadian border in a small town in Idaho and winter has been drawn out with freezing temps at night this last week. So I have been dreaming a lot about Spring actually arriving.
I find I sleep better if I have been beading for at least an hour before I go to sleep.
So that's my dream - to bead, to sleep, perchance to dream (happily).
I worked on having some asymmetry in this piece and feel it has a nice balance. I used 4 colors of Delica; turquoise, rainbow translucence, a mystery color (no name on the tube) & a small amount of grass green. I chose copper as a transition color from winter before the gold of summer.
I have lots of blogs to visit & see the other wonders that have been created, so here they are:

Cryss your necklace is beautiful. Love the colors you chose. They compliment the bead perfectly. I too live not far south of Canada and I am longing for spring after an unusually cold(5th coldest in the history of our state) and snowy winter.
Simply beautiful!
Great bracelet! I bet that it is really comfortable to wear.
Oh I love your piece! The colors go so well together. Excellent job! Thanks for posting.
Cryss, I love your understated design which perfectly complements the gorgeous little bead you received from Heather and Rita :) Let's hope this LOOONG winter season will soon lose its grip and allow us to skip happily into spring and summer!
The copper beads picks up the veining in the focal bead, and the green/turquoise color is beautiful. It makes for a stunning combination.

All I can say us YUM-MY! I'm dream struck in awe. The colors are purr-fect and all I want now is some pistachio gelato. Thank you for sharing your color of dreams.
Love this design! You did well!
P.S. I'm sending some warm air up your way...:)
Love your colours! Speaks of spring (if it ever comes) Great bracelet!
My absolutley favorite colors. Perfect description. I too have to bead before sleep and often get caught beading to the wee hours. Beautiful bracelet!
You created a very cool and wonderful bracelet! I imagine you riding your Harley (or a horse, too)wearing this boho chic beauty! It is warm and lovely, like you! You certainly created gorgeous art jewelry with the copper and Delicas -- I love that you shared your colors which reflect spring. I giggled at the little bit of grass green & imagined it peeking out from the spring ground, the season finally changing as you snuggle in your bed, dreaming. Oh, and you worked brilliant asymmetry too, Crystal! Lovely!
Happy Hopping! Thank you for sharing your dreams xxoo Rita
really creative use of the bead and the colors! so so pretty and inspirational!
I love the colors and design. Well done!
Gorgeous! If you don't like it, send it my way. I love love love it! The colors make the bead POP!!!! :)
The colours are absolutely gorgeous. Everything sits together as if that's exactly where they were always meant to be. I'm urging spring to come your way xxx
This is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! enough said!!! Have a Blessed Day!
I am thinking yummy yummy yummy!!! Love those colors together, they make such a statement. Great choices for your lovely ooak bead.
My brother and his wife live in Helena and I know they too have been dreaming/waiting for spring. Very pretty bracelet. I love the copper as a transition. You really accented the 'focal' bead very well.
That's a beautiful dream,- to bead, to sleep, perchance to dream(happily):-) To start with the beading, I love your design, it's elegant with a beautiful colour combination. I end with wishing you great dreams and a beautiful Spring Time!
I like the design simple yet modern (stacked) bracelet. Very nice.
What a lovely piece, and do I ever understand - I am in Canada and it snowed again last night ! Looks like it's all melting again, though. Mother nature, go home, you're drunk e.e;
Sorry this comment took so long, this week has been a little heretic.
Lovely bracelet! Definitely wishing you all that you dream! (I live in southern Ohio, and even we just experienced an April snow shower earlier this week. This winter is being quite tenacious.)
