Its relaxing, and next thing you know you have this beautiful strand for a bracelet or necklace. I love texture so I try to create a little more depth in my designs...the necklace would not have looked as fun if I didnt have the leaves...Its all wired accept for the braided sari silk and the little bead work on the ends...so it is kind of stiff at first when you put it on, but you can shape it nicely to fit perfectly on the chest...<br /><br />THANKS again....Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007537203368275513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371204583084477637.post-33446935982616318642014-01-13T20:17:04.662-08:002014-01-13T20:17:04.662-08:00Thank you Liz, that is such a compliment, I really...Thank you Liz, that is such a compliment, I really appreciate it.

And the first jewelry project I ever created was with my youngest daughter -- then in her early twenties -- and we made a "Hers & Paws" Kumihimo necklace & matching collar set (no beads of course & magnetic clasp for collar safety). So, seeing your GORGEOUS bracelet today warms my heart. Such a rare jewelry art & you have made a lovely forest treasure! Beautiful work. I also agree with Liz -- your leaf and the three tiers of your necklace make it very special! Cool design -- like walking through the forest, full of textures, shades of green, treasures and life -- and collecting a magnificent leaf to celebrate the journey!
