Sleek Strand of Wood Beads

Today's beads are part of a strand of dark wood beads. They seemed so sleek and uniform I thought they would make a nice band to set off a focal bead. My first thought is always about making bracelets for some reason! I'm sure these would be nice in a necklace too!

I thought I'd like to place some kind of spacer in between each of the wood beads to give it room to move around a little bit. However, on second thought I prefer the sleeker look of the wood beads all lined up together. I've got some nice tumbled stones that would work perfectly as the focal bead. Actually, I think I have several of them. Well, that probably means someone is going to get a gift soon...

I hope your week is going well!!
