What a joy! It's been a real treat to journey through the different sections and charms of this flower pod armband. Beautiful construction. Pretty rhythmic, quite geometric. I loved it. I probably won't use it so much as a bracelet (the weight of the flower tends to make it slide down my wrist). But regardless, it's an adorable decorative piece, and that's how it has settled down in my home. Thank you! (I will soon be back... for another beading movie to unfold beneath my fingertips ;-)
