Butterfly Bracelet with Vintaj

I was so impressed with Jess's fantastic bracelet using the large Butterfly, that I had to try one for myself.

You can see hers called Enchanted Path here.

Curving the pieces and adding the the jumprings to new holes that you punch with a 2 hole screw punch made for a challenging engineered project.

I am not a jewelry artist, so I struggle with the concept of getting it all to lay right, and at the same time, look fairly nice....and FIT!

The main pieces are found on this page @Vintaj. I used the Acorn Leaves on the back, the Butterfly Grandeur for the main piece, and the Deco Vines Filigree cut in half.

All were sanded and polished with the outstanding Metal Reliefing Block. It makes a world of difference in the contrasting of the pieces.

 

You can really see what it does here in this detail.

So find some great pieces and play with them. I got some great DecoEmboss Folders from Hobby Lobby last week. They are SOOOOOO COOL!!!!

 

Here's a few blanks I had to emboss.

 

Will maybe have time to put something together before I head up North to see the fantastic people @Creative Cuts and Crafts this weekend!!!! Classes are ready to go!  WHOO HOO!

Can't wait to see everyone again!!!  It's supposed to be a gorgeous Indian Summer week.

Bill can walk the bike trail out back and then hit the bakery next door.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!
