Once again Ronit Florence has taken a pattern and made it into more than just a basic bracelet. She definitely knows how to tweak a design to get the most from it. Most readers will recognize the Clown Fish Bracelet I posted in July.

Here's what she had to share about the beautiful set she made:
" As
usual, your clown fish pattern wrecked havoc with my todo list - I just
had to drop everything and bead it up :) I saw real clown fish in their
"natural" habitat in a museum recently and learned about the symbiotic
relationship they have with sea anemones, so I added the anemones to
the pattern - that happened to have made beading a bit more
interesting because it meant that there wasn't a large area of solid
color to bead up :)
Of course, I had to make a set, so I rearranged the fish slightly so the pendant didn't turn out too wide and I made matching earrings. I used clear beads with AB finish (Delica #51) to do the bubbles and, while in retrospect I think it would have been better to use white, it allowed me to use the clear "water" drops or bubbles in the fringe and strap. For the strap I used this free pattern: http://storage.canalblog.com/26/09/392679/26506221.jpg from this site: http://centperles.canalblog.com/archives/schemas_a_a_d_/index.html
Hope you like it and thanks again for all your wonderful and very inspiring patterns!!!
Hugs, Ronit"
