Another first!


 
Here's a collage of my first published bracelet! It's in Bead-it Today.
The August issue is out now.
 
I love using vintage pieces in my designs. The bracelet above features a vintage Weiss brooch. This brooch was given to me but you can find similar ones online or at estate sales.

Tip: Make sure you always look at the back of the brooch if you are looking for a signed Weiss brooch. Here's a website with advise on how to spot fakes! http://vintagecostumejewels.com/Info/How_to_Spot_Fake_Weiss_Jewelry.htm

Here's some I found that you can use to create your own 'vintage brooch' bracelet!
Design Tip: Don't cut off the pin part of the brooch if its a real Weiss brooch. Keep the integrity of it so you can wear it again as a brooch at a later time.

A Bracelet Challenge


I signed up for this challenge! It's my first bracelet challenge. I haven't really got into making bracelets for a while so this will be a challenge. I looked back to previous posts to see what had sold.

Here's some bracelets I made in the past...


Nikko Blue

The colors in this bracelet (above) remind me of a 'Nikko Blue' Hydrangea. This one is an interlocking double-strand bracelet.


Pretty in Pink

These are 'stackable' bracelets. Both bracelets can be worn alone or tied together with a matching ribbon.

Here are my most recent bracelets created:

A Mother's Love

Happiness {sold}
 These last two bracelets aren't really the style for the challenge so it will be a challenge to switch gears. I will come back to post what I create for this challenge on the reveal date!...
