A new Bracelet

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.

Today we made earrings and bracelets. Each item unique. It is amazing how handy and creative they are. This is my last day of camp. They have one day more.  

Art Camp, Last Day Aug 9, 2022

Jewelry day. Bracelets and earrings. I was so busy curling the ends of the wire
to hold the beads on the earrings that I didn’t have a chance to photograph many
of them. I did better with the bracelets. Thanks, Becky, for all your help!!!!

Other Photos from Art Camp

Assisted by my friend Becky McGuigan (Thanks, Beck) I did two projects with the kids: egg carton flowers and jewelry. Last week we did necklaces and bracelets. This week we’ll do bracelets and earrings. A photo in my FOTD post for Aug 12 showed one of the flowers. Here are a few photos of the jewelry and also a photography project that my friend Bethany did with the kids. They each went home with a book of their photos. One more day of camp tomorrow! I’ll try to get more pix this time.

Valuables: Saturday Stream of Consciousness Prompt

You need to click on these to see them well.. especially the first long skinny one. 

 

Somewhere I saw a daily prompt whose prompt today was photos of things that began with  “VAL.” I put my thinking cap on and came up with “Valuables,” so I took photos of my jewelry which, although not diamonds and gold, is valuable to me. Then, in typical “me” fashion, I could not find the prompt to link it to, so if this sounds familiar to you, please clue me in with a link?  Prayers answered.. muchas gracias, Sadje, for telling me the site of the prompt.!

 

This post is part of SoCS. Find the prompt HERE. link!!!!

San Juan Cosala Kids Art Camp

https://issuu.com/lakechapalasociety/docs/conecciones_agosto_2019_digitalI forgot to post photos of some of the kids enjoying the many activities at art camp two weeks ago. I taught earring and bracelet-making and egg-carton flower making. Useful skills in life. Here they are. Better late than never.

Go HERE to see an article I wrote about Operation Feed, the volunteer organization that sponsored this camp. The article is on pages 26 and 27, but when you slide the bar to get to the page, it will say it is 28. Miracles of the media.
