“In my artistic mind, this is a beaded version of a scarf – it has depth, texture, color and movement.”
-Kristi Young, Designer

This elegant, one-of-a-kind charm bracelet is vibrant with tones of bronze and gold and a splash of red. It was handcrafted using a a lovely eclectic mixture of beads and charms chosen just for this project. There are 56 “Significant” pieces that were collected, prepared and attached directly to an antiqued chain of metal links using hand wire-wrapping and a few jump rings.

This collection includes metal charms, vintage upcycled watch gears, vintage glass beads including Czech beads, amber Swarovski crystals, tiger’s eye, marble, sea shell beads, metal tags and balls, a gold cross, mini filigree balls…the list goes on.  My husband said I should keep this one for myself, and he is right, but I already have too many bracelets so I should share.

Hand rolled paper beads made from any photo, then the beads are used to create a beautiful bracelet. RESULTS? PRICELESS!!

This memory bracelet was made from a photo of my horse:

This bracelet is made of hand rolled paper beads – recycled from a full-page picture of a palomino in a glossy horse magazine.  The colors in the page gave the beads a wooden look.  The smaller dark brown beads were also made from paper.  After rolling, gluing and glazing all of the beads myself, I handcrafted the bracelet.

Bought some new clasps yesterday to use in my new fashion bracelets. I will post pics soon.
