I have a few design things to work out, but as soon as they are, I will post links to my Etsy store and anyone can have one made to order! I have a lot of colors available. I can do Swarovski Crystal or a premium regular crystal (the one Mikey has on is a regular crystal). A Swarovski Crystal one will be outrageously expensive because I need 165 of the beads for a 16" browband, and they are expensive to begin with and bulk pricing means I get 3 packages of 6 beads instead of one package of 6 beads. *shakes head*
Anyway, I'll be posting finished browbands as I go. I have one completed (light blue crystal with white webbing), one ready for leather ends (solid black crystal with white webbing), one almost ready for leather ends (red/orange crystal with gold webbing), one ready to start beading (fire opal Swarovski Crystal with black webbing), and beads on hand for a green iridescent crystal and a cream pearl one.
Stay tuned!!! And if anyone wants one, please comment and I'll get in touch! More pictures to come!
Oooh! I like! Is the woven bead part flexible? Like if there was enough length to it would it drop down? I have a thing for dropped browbands...
ReplyDeleteYes, the woven part is completely flexible. It's too flexible in fact. There's a supportive wire that runs through the inside of the bead coil - it's also what holds the beads and leather together. The wire is a coated copper wire (I have to look up what the coating is, but it shouldn't tarnish or rust) . The woven beads are tough, but I didn't want them supporting themselves. If I make one long enough it I don't see why it couldn't be shaped into dropped, and possibly a V. I'm not sure the wire is tough enough to hold the V, but I can look into tougher wire.
