Elegant Elements in Stormy Blues and Silver

Yesterday I showed you the beautiful clasps sent to me by The Beadsmith. Even though I had a long list of things to do, I just couldn't help myself but to drop it all and start on a new project (who really wants to do dishes, anyway?). Those of you have been hanging around a while know that every project starts with the grand gathering of bits and bobs surrounding a color scheme or theme. This project will be a bead embroidered cuff bracelet using the silver clasp and I selected a nice assortment of beads in stormy blues and silver tones. I'm hoping to capture the lovely curves of the clasp in the beadwork - I'll be sure to share the journey.
Here are some shots of the gathered goodies - I would love to know what you think!
