Charm Bracelet

The green tin I purchased just a little while ago has become the basis for a charm bracelet finished this week.  I gathered up all the jungle themed tins I had to create this little charmer. I included a photo of one of the tins.

I've been working on bracelets this week. The weather has been quite humid and rainy so the downstairs studio is the place to be as the weeds grow huge outside in the garden.

A sweet art teacher friend donated prismacolor pencil boxes to me.  I love the dots!

The last couple of days I have been working on a series of oval bracelets.  A friend had asked me to try making some, so I finally had time to explore an idea. The pieces are above. I  connected them with links made from baling wire.

And here are the finished products.

The finished bracelets!

I've taken the idea from the previous post and expanded it. I like finding the little pictures for the frames. These will all become bracelets like the ID bracelets of the 60's, only there will be an image instead of a name.

I have been working on a new design for a bracelet which includes a framed tin picture. This one came from an olive oil can and is about 2"x1". I've formed it around a bracelet mandrel to give the curve of a wrist. The next one will have an even bigger picture and frame.
