I drafted out this bangle pattern after a trip to Washington DC a few years ago and then actually beaded it a year later. It promptly sold and I never made another one, until now. I fondly call it "Our Forefathers" because I was inspired by the tobacco leaf designs throughout the buildings on our tours. I think it's a little hard to see in the final piece, but that was the shape I started with when doodling this out.
Anne Flora purchased the original in blue/greens and fuchsia/purples. This new piece looks quite different from the original with it's red, orange and purple coloration that I have been using for the fall/winter.
I will have it a available for sale at the Ann Arbor Fiberarts Guild Sale this Saturday at Washtenaw Community College. Hope to see you there!

Thanks Mary Jo, I do spend days on the larger pieces. I had to re-do this posting to get some better photos up. Whew!
Jenny, I have the purple one, but really like this, too - beautiful and meaningful. Way to go! gail bart
