I left this bracelet at Walmart in the Arboretum Shopping Center in Charlotte, NC, today. When I abandon a bracelet, I consider that a finish! I hope it makes somebody happy. Day 30, #the100dayproject2024, #fixandfinish

A New Bracelet
I’ve not made a bracelet in weeks. I burned myself out making them before Christmas. Today, I finished one I’ve been carrying around for days. I’d planned to finish it before Valentine’s Day because it has one of my heart-shaped handmade polymer clay buttons. (Someday, I hope to make my buttons out of precious metal clay.)
The leather is lavender and the beads are Aurora Borealis coated gray agate. This is my favorite combination of beads and leather. Day 25, #the100dayproject2024, #fixandfinish
Brace Yourself!

Buttons!
Fresh from the Oven!
No, they’re not chocolate! They’re polymer clay buttons! Some are shaped from molds and some are molded by hand. (the acorn, the zuni bear, and the mushrooms, for example)
They need sanding and staining and sealing. Coming soon to a bracelet near you!
I baked a batch…
of buttons! The grandkids were in NYC over Thanksgiving, so these are the only things I’ve baked in a long while, unless you count toast! 😄
Making Buttons…
like crazy this holiday weekend!
These flowers will need to be trimmed down before becoming buttons. I’ll also highlight the details with mica powder before baking.
An Amazing Merling Morning!
Laura and I made merlings yesterday morning! Merlings are the brain child of Christi Friesen.
