Today it was time to make a bracelet, and as I had already made this leather necklace yesterday, and I had everything out to make more leather jewellery, I thought…why not make a simple leather bracelet? I like all of the assorted recycled glass beads in this bracelet, it’s simple and fun to wear.
Today I added some sparkly tonic water beads in between the recycled purple wine bottle beads, for a completely different look.

I missed a day of making this week, so today I made two pieces to make up for it. I have used beer bottle beads to make a simple, but lovely necklace and earrings.
I’m having a tiny break from making after creating 40 pieces for “Be-Gin Again” which is the exhibition being hosted by Local Images as part of the Penola Arts Festival.
