Sushi Bracelet

Another beaded project, and this is one of my earliest pieces - sushi!

This is a bracelet made from Delica beads, featuring only about half of the sushi I had made patterns for - I also forgot that I have a few charms to put on the end of it, of the pickled ginger and wasabi! I made a matching pair of earrings, too, but I can't find them at the moment

I wear this bracelet a lot. I probably shouldn't, because it's so... otaku... but at the same time, it's fun. I remembered I didn't have any pictures of it when the cashier lady at the Lawson's near by commented on it - apparently, ebi (shrimp) is her favorite kind of sushi

More randomness...

I'm considering taking these for commission, but I'm not sure anyone is interested. As I get more of the jewelry pieces up, though, that might be an option - what do you all think? Or would anyone be interested in buying the pattern and making it yourself? You'd have to buy a bunch of different colored beads, but if you already have seed beads (or preferably Delica, nothing fits together like they do!) it's not hard to do.

Now, onto another random question for my amazing followers (or anyone who stumbles across this) - anyone have experience with having a craft book published? If so, could you message me or email me at tscosplay@gmail.com? I have around 30 different patterns made and tested, all of Japanese-esque things, that I would love to put together into a book, along with some of my photography (and there are more I'm working on thanks to getting to Kyoto... I figure I should do something with these pieces!)
