My wonderful husband bought me lots of new fun things for Christmas....I love to get new tools or supplies to make things with....
I got a new metal stamping font as well as the decorative border on the copper piece....
It didn't photograph so well because of my lighting,
but this bracelet is dyed with a new red leather dye....the top bracelet (horizontal) is red the bottom (vertical) is the brown I've been using...
This is a copper bird with a seed pearl on one of our bicycle spoke bracelets...it's headed to Winsome Cottage.
This is a new idea I wanted to try out...the red dye shows a little better in this photo too. I used my metal stamps to stamp into a leather bracelet.
"The bird does not sing because it has the answer it sings because it has a song..."
And I added a brass bird with a bead....it's headed to Winsome Cottage too.
I 've been using my jewelry saw which let's me be even more creative. I can cut out pretty much any shape I want as well as cut out of the interior of the metal....lot's of things I want to try!!!!
Rachel, you probably already make it... I recently purchased a "hair stick" for my "bun". It was made from a silver plated ice tea spoon, with the bowl of the spoon cut off. It is just the right length for my hair. The lady that makes these also takes a pie server, cuts it apart and then uses the holes in the wedge part to pass through a silver stick for hair. Anyway, leather hair accessories with stamped designs would be so cool and use a pretty ice tea spoon for the stick... just a thought -- you are so talented. I just love to see what you are thinking up next.

ReplyDeleteI was recommended this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem. You're incredible! Thanks!
