I'm a WUS
You may remember the first attempt at an assymetrical bracelet. After considering your constructive advice and comments, I took the easy route. I went with matchy/matchy balance. Blech! When I have more time, I'll try it again. But for now, here's the original...then the redo.

Now, I'm normally a matchy match and symmetrical person, but I have to say I like the first bracelet better. I think it it the silver. I like the silver parts of the first one better.

For me, it's the 'new and improved' one hands down! I love the wire work, so nice! Thanks for sharing...and do some more of these, they're great!

I vote for number 2. Ewwwww, that sounded wrong. Anywhoooo, I like the silverwork better in the second bracelet. I think you could hang those gorgeous beads on twine and they would look good, however.
BTW, just to be annoying - You are a Wuss. I believe the correct spelling has two s's. Which would make sense because I think the origin of the word comes from trying to avoid your mom hitting you in the back of the head for calling your little brother a puss* - hence the slight, parent-fooling change.

The second one gets my vote, no question! I really like the double strands of wire work - looks great and balances the whole effect.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I really like the popsicle stick wire wraps on the second one... And the double row concept... But I might still like the first (for Lori, I avoided saying "number one"...)
What if, on the first bracelet, you moved the bead left of the center grouping back beside the left back bead - that would leave you with 3 "groupings. Then, in the space between the two beads (back left) and the 3 in the center group, you put the double row popsicle wrappy thing (with the the dangles)... Did that make any sense?
I'm shutting up now...

I like the second version a lot better! I really like how you did the double strands of wirework, too. I tend to prefer symmetry & balance, though asymmetrical can look balanced too.
Hey, if it's really "blech" to you .... send it over this way and I'll give it a very good home .... on my wrist!

I like the new one too. Those double coils are so cool, and those little jump ring danglies would be fun to play with when sitting around on hold.....

Looks like you just proved you are talented in both assymetrical and matchy/matchy. showoff  I say, make more of both! They are beautiful. I like the coil work double on the second and the silver combinations on the first. The little dangles on the second's front coil are unexpected, and very eye-catching. Those beautiful beads are just the right size for both effects.
