I made most of the Christmas presents I gave this year. I made bracelets for my mom and sister-I never made a bracelet before. I had some bamboo blanks that are pre-drilled for stringing, so I thought I would start there. I thought of a couple of designs that I could draw, put them on the bamboo, and then stared at them for a while (well, for a couple of days) trying to figure out what to do next. I had some beads. So. Nothing else. I thought about a really cool idea with wire. This idea worked perfect in my head. After I got home from work and got settled down to work on it-not so much. Then I settled on stretchy cord. I made the bracelet for my mom. Loved it. Made the bracelet for my sister. Looked at it. Next day at work, I went to Michaels at lunch and bought different beads. After work-tore it apart-made it again-loved it.
Now-I needed to take some pictures of them. My camera died a while back. Actually, while we were at the Wright-Pat Air Force Museum (BTW-Awesome Place!!). I decided to put some batteries in it and I asked it to please work. It did, but wouldn't focus, I took the pictures anyway. Here are the results. I also made a little ceramic box for my mom.
I have also been working on a new idea with letters and names. Combining them together in different ways. I did this one for my dad.
I have been thinking about selling these. I will do initials or names. It will be a mystery how they will turn out. Even I won't know.
