Ok, I guess they showed up alright. Unfortunately my camera refused to catch all the details.
I 1st made the raspberry one, then the copper, then the mint green and then the turquoise I believe. It was the same technique, I put the bra on this half/mannequin, set in front of it and kept on beading. Occasionally I had to try it on to see if the loops were long enough.
I used the original beads that were attached (usually hanging in the middle) and added some more silver or gold beads, different sizes. For the mint and turq. bra I used big blastic beads I bought at Wal-Mart. It may sound cheap but it's pretty close up. In each bag there are 6-7 shades of similar color, such blue: sky blue, turquose, light, dark, etc. It was perfect.
For the copper I bought different size and shaped brown, orange and copper beads, and the raspberry already came with the extras. If you use bigger beads mixed with the small ones you don't need to make that many loops.
Normally while I'm at it I make a necklace of the left over beads.
I think I need to add some more loops to the copper, and the bottom loop now seems too low - I lost 4-5 lbs, so I guess I can show an inch more :))
I hope this helped.
