Father's Day Gift Bracelets...

...well, bought by a guy, at any rate.

These stretch bracelets are consuming me. I made several more while at the farmers market today. The first two sold immediately (yippeee!!), but I can make more and/or variations on these or any others I've posted in the past. These glass beads I've been using are terrific. I've seen them labelled as small pony beads; I think they're 2/0 seed beads. But what's really cool is they have a great hole -- easy to thread onto 1.5mm leather cord. Just about any of these bracelets can be made into adjustable chokers or regular necklaces. I can also make them larger to be worn as ankle bracelets.

Black glass beads, etched 2-eye agate bead, copper skulls, copper jump ring spacers and coil. 



Black glass beads, copper jump ring spacers and an etched 9-eye carnelian dZi-style bead.




This bracelet is made with dark dusty blue Picasso 2/0 seed beads (small pony beads) with a silver-plated feather and spacers and a pewter horse, bird and turtle.




These all fit kind of loose medium to large. I got a guy pal to try one on and he said it was very comfortable. Prices are as marked, shipping is extra depending on where you live and your need for speed. I take PayPal and Square, and within Canada bank eTransfer. Email me for information on these or to make a special request.

Thanks for looking!

You can see these and more at the Woodstock Farmers Market on Nellis Street tomorrow morning from 7:00 a.m. until noon. My booth is easy to find: across the room from the main entrance and slightly to the left.

I will also be putting a selection of my new items into Showcase 800 (the white showcase just past the cash desk on the main floor) at the One of a Kind Antique Mall on Wilson Street, open seven days a week from 10:a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

If you prefer to shop online, please email me for shipping cost as well as availability or to inquire about commissioning a specific size or colour -- or something completely different. I take PayPal, Square (and bank e-Transfer in Canada).

Note that I am happy where possible to swap out pendants or to remake items using different types of metals (sterling, pewter, tinned copper, copper, vintage brass & copper, etc.) and materials (metals, bone, glass, ceramic, semi-precious stones).

Thanks for stopping by!
