Getting Ready

I am getting ready for a vendor mart sponsored by the Quilting By the Lake conference put on by the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY.  Thinking about quilters and how they like to put things together inspired these necklaces and bracelets.

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.

2014 Rock Concert Charm Bracelet

While doing the Mayday Underground Craft Show at the Rochester Armory in November, I picked up bottle caps from the parking lot.  Since the venue has many rock concerts, that is what I imagined the bottle caps coming from and named the bracelet for those events.  I backed each bottle cap with a piece of tin to provide a nicer view through the window on the back side.  The bottle caps are attached to  textured brass with tiny brass rivets. The chain is made out of steel and brass.

Happy New Year!
