The Story of My Bracelets
My staple always-sell pieces are bracelets using memory wire, a stiff wire that retains its circular shape,and beads. For some reason women really love them and are willing to pay $35 to $50 for one. They are comfortable and easy to wear. The technique for making the bracelets is very easy and usually takes about two hours. Simply cut the wire, make a loop with pliers at one end, slide the beads onto the wire, finish with another loop. The real work is in creating a one of a kind unique piece each time.
New Commission
I just received a commission for a piece along the lines of this one which is sculpted from sterling silver clay and hung from a chain embellished with multicolored silk ribbon. The new one will be inspired by this but different of course and made just for the person who will wear it.
Northern Lights
I just delivered another bracelet called Northern Lights. It is sodalite with silver foil glass beads, silver, and other gemstone and glass beads. It has a sterling silver Thai Hill Tribe charm.
Bracelet For White Mist of Cotter and the Trout Festival
The annual trout festival is this weekend, so I whipped up a bracelet for the shop. These memory bracelets are popular because they are easy to wear and are attractive. Each is one of a kind. Update: I delivered the bracelet on Friday midday and it was sold on Saturday. Time to make some new and wild summer combinations.
