I was intrigued with this square made of shell and noodled over it for a few months until I had a special occasion and decided to make a bracelet with it. The flat green coin beads matched the blouse I was going to wear. I had no trouble putting the colors together - but how to actually construct the bracelet while keeping the center open? And I worried about the bracelet being too big - for it would certainly want to turn on my wrist because the shell square was so large and rather heavy. But it turned out just right, with a bit of fiddling with the length of the side "straps".
