FIRST, I missed the hop due to family business so here is my hop entry.
Yesterday was the day for B'sue's Sari Blog Hop!! Yeeeee-Haaaa!!! Here is the Bracelet I made. I designed it using B'sues' Beautious Sari Ribbon that is available for purchase at her shop: http://www.bsueboutiques.com/. So, please, go over and check out her shoppe I promise it shall not dissapoint!!Ok., now, the bracelet, I used bronze wire and I crocheted a cuff decorated with tons of pebble sized glass beads of all shapes and colors. I then wove 2 pieces of Sari Ribbon and hand spun silk fiber throughout the cuff. And, finally, I charmed it up with a bunch of Polymer Clay beads and charms that I made. I rolled the beads in some really cool colors of glitter and then finished them off with some bead caps, again from B'Sue, and threw a few in there that have a "tyedye effect to them, Hung them on some oversizedCopper jumprings I forged out of Copper, along with some handmade Polymer Charms in Copper. The toggle is simple,and not what I had in mind, but to be honest, I ran out of time!! (Alot going on @ the ol' chicken coop this week) SO, I shall finish up the toggle design to what I had envisioned in the first place and then show you this little Gem again...
Oh, and by the way, this is the first in a whole line of Sari pieces to come... and ...
THIS BRACELET IS FOR SALE-
THANKS FOR VISITING AND TAKING A LOOK-
EVERYONE ENJOY THE SARI PARTY!! I AM GOING TO PUT SOME BREAKKY INTO MY FAVORITE 14 YR. OLD AND THEN I WILL BE CATCHING UP ON THE PARTY :)
Hugs, Liz xo

Hi Liz, great work, thanks so much for sharing. Many will be going back through today and leaving comments. It looks as though most of them either got up in the middle of the night Thursday or at the crack of dawn Friday and so, when I came to the computer at 7 there was already 3/4 of the entrants with posts up and ready! I got most of my comments in yesterday. THANKS for being part and for all your shout outs to your group about B'sue Boutiques. True, it's my living, but what makes the work so pleasant is the SHARING of ideas, the NURTURING of new talent, and the incredible diversity among those who use our goods and then share their work. I love what you do with the clay, keep sharing that with us, our next hop will be in JANUARY....and guess what! It will be the Polymer Clay Bead Party!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done...nice blend of colors in the ribbon you chose. Your polymer copper charms are the perfect match. So glad you participated- Enjoy the blog hop!!
ReplyDeleteLove your handmade charms!
ReplyDeleteI understand about running out of time and having to simplify. I have been there myself before!
Beautiful bracelet, and love your beads!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Love anything with dangles!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteFun color and movement in this bracelet! Like that you played with polymer clay as well!
ReplyDeleteOooh! This turned out really well! How fun! I am in awe of your creativity! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell you've got the polymer clay thing licked for next time! Very fun. Warm, happy colors. I never thought of crocheting as a base. Hey, I crochet! Wonder if we could have actually crocheted with the ribbon (why not?) and a big hook...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - I've been patiently waiting to see your design and glad I stopped in tonight :) - I absolutely love all the details in your bracelet - from the selection of beads to the addition of the woven silk ribbon in addition to the Sari ribbon - what a BEAUTIFUL piece <3 ~J-Lynn
ReplyDeleteI love the clay beads. The weaving of the sari ribbon really adds interest and texture to the overall design. The colors you have chosen are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your piece.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your bracelet, beautiful colors, beads, and charms.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for leaving your addy on my site. I appreciate being invited so I can see all of the entries and see all the fun! I love the mix of colors you used and the dangles that came off of the bottom of the piece. They gave the rest of the piece motion and life. Too much fun!
ReplyDeleteLiz, I LOVE your entry! It's wonderful as always. I thank you for stopping by my site and leaving a comment especially when I know your Dad is sick. I hope things turn out well and you have a great week. Soft hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that you could make it to the Hop.
Love your bracelet! It must be so much fun to wear...
Take care!
Davinia
