A new Bracelet

5 Replies

I assembled 90 different bracelets of this ilk a few years ago at the beach. I did the clasps on two of them and hired someone to do the fourth. The rest reside all assembled in my studio, waiting for someone to do the final joining. It is very complicated to join all these different elements and it took me hours today after making a bunch of dumb moves to complete this one. Would love to hire someone to do the final joining on the rest.  Here is my newest:

It is turquoise, woven thread, clay and fiber. The woven and fiber bracelets I bought from different beach vendors. The beads I strung. Below is the clasp, but my finish work on the back is kind of messy. I’ll show other solutions and bracelets tomorrow.

For the first 1 1/2 hours of my day, I also taught an English lesson to Carmen and Yoli, practicing my Spanish by reading a story book to them in Spanish which they translated into English. Fun. Does this qualify as a full day?

For Cellpic Sunday, a bit late…
