New Bracelet

I don’t know why I love bracelets so much.  They seem to be the only thing I like to make lately.  It’s not because they’re a small project because I don’t like to make earrings as much as bracelets.  It’s not that they’re easy, because some of mine are more complicated than my necklaces.  Maybe one day I’ll figure it out, but meanwhile, here is one I just finished.  I used six different beads in a random pattern.  It closes by pulling the large Czech beads through the slot one at a time.

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle.
