The Cellini finished

Here is the finished Cellini......about 15 hours work I might add.

I actually joined the ends yesterday and had a friend of mine try it on. When I saw it on her wrist I thought - it's ugly and too big! - but then, I am not the wearer.

My friend said it needed to be a little larger so I added extra length and finished it this morning.
My friend also said it is a bit "scratchy" when you put it on. 
I included long magatamas in this weave and they have a pointed edge.

When I started my internal voices said "don't use them all the way around". 
Did I listen?? Oh No!! 
Why do I feel I know better than my muse? why do I not listen? 
Heaven knows the answer to that as I certainly don't!

Oh well ! it will be a showpiece for inspiring my students, 
or maybe I will turn it into a necklace.
We shall see.

      Hello Maritza, thank you for visiting. Yes there are 3 different size 15's, 2 size 11's, size 9s, size 8s and long magatamas. It took about 15 hours to make.

      Cheers....Patrick

    As I have worn this in person I can say that, yes, it is a little spiky. Other than that it is wonderful. As for too big and ugly, that depends on the wearer, their wrist/body size and their love (or not) or large chunky pieces. I have a bracelet of peyote in large grey beads. It looks absolutely horrible on me - too big and too grey. A friend tried it on and it was perfect and the greys all changed colour to tone with her skin. It looked wonderful.
