Focal Copper Bead Bracelet

I am still trying to break out of my own mold and explore new design ideas. A few weeks ago I was picking up crimp beads at my local bead store and saw this HUGE copper bead. I bought it because I liked it, but knew that it would not be something I would normally use. That's my new attitude when I visit bead stores. If I like but feel I would not use it, I buy it. Just to see if I can find a way to use it. It took me a while, a few tries, but finally I am happy with the outcome.
