Color of Dreams blog hop with Toltec Jewels. Its now reveal day! my focal bead on this bracelet is the bead that I received for this blog hop. I spent days thinking about how to use this bead in the best way possible to keep it as the focal point of the project. i love crystals and dream of having lots of crystals. I was working on a bracelet then thought this would be the perfect project to add this bead to as my bracelet was matte cubes and cup chain! So that is how this bracelet came about!
Below are 3 pictures I took of my bracelet!
