Found and Made






I said last night on twitter that I was trying to find my initial beads to put on a piece of cord and after looking high and low I found them. I have kept them since childhood. My cousin many years ago when I was in my teens made me the beaded Aztec bracelet. I really should try and make my own one day, I expect it is quite time consuming to do. I haven't worn this in years but my God Mother gave me this beautiful vintage silver  necklace, I have just given it a clean and now I will be wearing it lots. In the 90s Karma bead bracelets were very popular and I am so glad I have kept some of them. The two above were my mums and I was going to give them to charity but thankfully I decided against it.






All the above are bracelets I made very quickly last night before going to bed. I do some mad things before I go to bed...do any of you guys do the same? I re-made another karma bracelet, the beads are so pretty and change colours and I made sure to add some sparkly blue stone beads on the tassel ends. For ages I have been meaning to make a something with these moon and sun beads I bought a few years ago and with seeing all these friendship bracelets I thought what a great idea to make my own. I'm going to buy more charms and make lots more and it will save me a lot of money. Another bracelet I made was with these plastic faceted arrow head beads which I bought off Etsy a long time ago. Anyhooo I hope I have inspired some you lovelies to make your own Bracelets.
