So the bracelet I made for Todd (and the matching one I made for myself) in ANb is oxidizing or something so the color is all faded and sad looking.
it used to look like this!

I think it's because we can't take them off so the metal is constantly being exposed to our skin and sweat and all that sexy grossness. I mean I run, work out, and do Bikram yoga (and that's like being in a sweat lodge for 90 minutes). So it's understandable.
Still sucks though.
The nice thing is though, the super huge ATi cuff I have

just needs to be scrubbed with a brush & dish soap to get the dirt off and it looks good as new, I've been wearing it a lot and the colors don't fade.
I guess, TL;DR, if you want continuous wear, get Titanium... Niobium will give brighter and more jeweled colors but ya can't wear it constantly (or while sweating your ass off).
The real take home message from this entry is I'm bored at work and really unmotivated to do ANYTHING.
Happy Friday everybody!
