Diana Ptaszynski owner of Suburban Girl Studio is hosting a waxed linen blog hop inspired by Erin Siegel who co-wrote the book Bohemian-Inspired Jewelry, with Lorelei Eurto.
I love jewelry designed with waxed linen. Since I had just bought some from Lorelei's Jewelry Accord shop I figured this hop was a great reason to show it off.

| Waxed linen owl bracelet with art beads |
The bracelet I made uses several Artisan Beads including a clay button I chose from a travelling bead box swap made by Lisa Peters (when I find out who made this I will update...if it's yours please tell me in the comments!!), my own TealwaterDesigns polymer clay owl and a gorgeous lampwork bead made by Erin Davenport, Fire Lily.

I also used a blue czech flower (I am gaga over these), a chunky wooden bead I bought in a de-stash, Czech triangles and some metal leaves that I rubbed with bronze wax.

I had fun making this bracelet. I really love the clay button as a closure but it doesn't hang exactly as I would like so I might trade it out for something else.

What fun! The button looks like one of Lisa Peters. Kristi does amazing works in metal and polymer clays. So if it's ceramic it's going to be someone else.

ReplyDeleteLove your design and the earthy colors in this piece. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of beads, colors, designs are great. Beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could play along. Your bracelet is wonderful. I love the earthiness/tribal feel to it. And your little owl is to die for. I love him. My mother loves owls, so I'm always on the lookout for owls. So cute.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty bracelet! Love your little owl and the dangles are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am liking the chunky style design. Nice bracelet.
ReplyDeleteHi Cory, It's nice to be introduced to your blog here. Thank you so very much for mentioning me and and Lori and our book, Bohemian-Inspired Jewelry. That means so much! Your bracelet is adorable. I like the whimsical nature of it. I also love to use buttons for clasps.
ReplyDeleteLisa Peters is the artist of the button! I think Janet got it :) I wonder if the weight is a bonus for keeping the bracelet upright & highlighting your owl? As for your waxed linen art -- warm, woodsy, & charming bracelet, Cory! Your owl is one cool hoot with great color & looks so at home in your beautiful work! Love the rustic feel, the aura of pine & leaves & flora on a magical path to follow created by your beads & colorway: like a renewing walk in the woods. Rich, wondrous, thoughtful, peaceful, nurturing! ♥ Rita
ReplyDeleteLove your usage of waxed linen cords. The designs are beautiful and brings the beads together beautifully!

ReplyDeleteFabulous bracelet Cory! I love the earthy organic nature of it, and the waxed linen goes so beautifully! And those Czech flowers are an addiction of mine too!
