Metal and Leather

I absolutely love making silk ribbon wrap bracelets.  I am obsessed about looking for different ribbon colors that I love and hope as well, that my customers will love (they do, they do!).  I started making them when someone asked me if I could make a bracelet with the word Namaste.  So I credit my yoga lovers for opening that door to me. I've been dying to start up using leather for my metal pieces and I'm happy to say I finally made one. Get it at FancifulWish And I can't say it was as easy as it looks to make.  I could buy precut leather bracelets with the snaps already attached but I found a vendor who makes these awesome tooled leather.  And they use different colors too...of course they sold some without the snaps (they sell a few with them, but I wanted to try my hand with putting the snaps, etc...) and I ordered a few test pieces.  I love them...

Here's what I have: "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." - Galileo Fanciful Wish Jewelry Mini dog tag necklaces, these are way smaller than the regular dog tag and oh so cute!!   fear not Follow Your Heart be brave Fanciful Wish Jewelry There is more to come, stay tuned!
