This came out of NOWHERE. I realized early this afternoon that I was finished all of the work I’d put out for myself for this show. Now what?! I looked around aimlessly for a little while and decided to take my older pieces and start marking them down for the sale box. In the middle of the pile was a single bracelet, an old design I haven’t tried for years.
I tossed aside the older work and started working on bracelets!
I tried two in the old style but really didn’t care for how they were working out, so I tried something new – a 4-strand braid.
I’ve had the 4-strand braid on my mind for a while as the next possible tutorial – it’s really useful for wrapping large, flat stones such as agate slices – but it suddenly occurred to me that it might work really well as the basis for a bracelet, especially if I hammered it. The first couple were a little wobbly but I got into the groove pretty quickly and voila! Lovin’ it!
What do you think?
Hi, Love the bracelet. Will be nice to add some pretty beads on. How have you been? I haven’t start anything tangible, but been collecting loads of designs and ideas. I use my eyes a lot to learn how beautiful pieces get done. Christmas is drawing near and I’ll be making some pieces as presents. Once I’m ready I’ll need your comment! :)
Have a great day.
Peace
