Pretty Palettes ~ July Inspiration

 Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis

Northern Lights served as this months inspiration

All the shimmering details can be found here.

AB finishes are a perfect go to for this challenge.

 I decided to use the Halcrat beads I had on hand 

as well as some others that seem to fit the theme.

59530 - Purple glass AB - 4mm round
I know the slider bead is also a Halcraft slider
bead but I have no item # on that one.

I made two bracelets to compliment one another
with that bead stash..

Here is what they look like separated.

I wanted the multistand to represent the 

expanse of the norther sky.

it can be quite mesmerizing and I get a feeling of calm 

looking at the Northern lights. 

Hence the "Serenity" word link.

 I went with the Teirracast tree of life button

 for no other reason 

than there was one in Frank's photo.

I had time to make one more bracelet...

This time I used these
Purple acrylic druzy metal  links #94115

that I recently found at Michael's.

I paired them with
Purple Iris faceted rondelles 6x8 mm
and Blue Iris Czech 4mm beads.
