A Good Mistake

Sometimes a mistake can end up being a good thing. The seed bead circles started out as connectors that ended up a bit too long for their intended purpose. I put them aside knowing that I could possibly come up with another use for them at some time. They are on a wire with eye loops at each end. I got these turquoise howlite beads and immediately thought of the connectors. I didn't want to use them in their straight form because the howlite beads were round and I wanted more roundness in the final creation. I wrapped the wires around a mandrel and voila!

Sometimes mistakes can lead to creative inspiration.
