I finally did it! I have been wanting to do this bracelet forever, ever since I saw the pattern! At first we didn't have the flowers and leaves but then our scrapbooking department brought them in! I wish I could say it is my own design but at least I could do it AND teach it! (BTW- My first class for it is on Wednesday January 19th at 6-7pm ) I think I will have to teach it in 2- 1 hour classes and send home homework.
A lil' bit of design and a lil' bit of life. After all, aren't we all diamonds in the rough?

January Classes - Be Inspired!
My friend Natalie gave me a small picture of a bracelet she liked and attached to the picture the note: "Misti, Can you make this?" Of course! Finding the time is another story. The picture did inspire me to make this! A brass/copper version on the silver bracelet in her picture. (Sorry - if my scanner were hooked up I could show you that one.)
I used our new Vintaj product at work to hammer in the word HOPE for the charm. A little stone and topaz crystal for the rest and I love the final outcome! I am sorry the picture is so bad- I can only work with natural light for a good pic. And it was awfully dreary that day...I called this one Vintaj Hope and the class is this Wednesday January 5th! My second inspired project is from a well known catalogue....and I ain't sayin'! But it did cost $328. Seriously!! They did use leather and sterling silver. The silver is not in my budget. Here is the original. And I understand correctly, I must change it 20% for copyright laws. I think I succeeded.

For this class you'll learn how to knot pearls but I added a twist using 2 strands of silk to mimick the necklace above.
