(2012) 9"x 3", Size 15 seed beads (matte purple metallic iris, 14k gold, silver-lined turquoise, silver-lined pink) amethyst beads, polyester thread.

The rich and colorful palette and the flame or feather pattern of the overall design reminds me of the opulence and drama of Indian costumes in Bollywood movies. It's a bit of an over-the-top summer piece...

Yeowzer! This certainly makes up for the muted colors in the last piece I commented on. The deep jewel tones are a treat and would go stunningly with either a deep green or a softly hued dress. The bracelet either needs to do the talking or be paired with something bold that can equal it. For some reason, it has me in mind of peacock feathers--the curving lines are to blame, I think, though it would go with a peacock headdress well enough. Bollywood, indeed!

Thanks so much! Actually you're right about the peacock - that almost makes me want to repeat the pattern with really classic peacock colors... I was thinking about a phoenix - bathed in blue flame, but your idea works just as well.
