Pink and Purple Russian Spiral bracelet

This is a cute little bracelet that I would've loved to have as a child. When I was 6, someone gave me a Smurfette pencil case which was pink with lavender hearts on it. Of course, when I got a little older, I decided that it was babyish to like pastels. I was too cool to like those girlie colors. You know, it was the 80's, when women were all trying to look like men with the crazy, short, spiked hair and huge shoulder pads. :) Haha. Now that I'm older, I have a finer appreciation for the feminine. Or maybe it was the 14 years in uniform.

Anyway, I've been making simple bracelets and giving them away to the little girls in my life for a while now. With the encouragement of some mommy friends, I'm starting to make some little girl bracelets with magnetic clasps for sale on Etsy. They're really quick and easy for small fingers and you don't have to worry about injuries if the bracelet gets caught on something while climbing a tree or running on the playground. It takes me about 3 hours to make a 6 inch spiral, so if you're interested in a particular color scheme, let me know.
