Winter creativity

Custom flower bracelet with sterling silver details.

So I had the pleasure of braiding 2 custom orders this week.
One bracelet with flowers in strong colors and one necklace in soft lilac with dark lilac trim.

I´ve also been inspired by the cold winter weather, braiding in light, soft colors like white, aqua and mint.



Light winter colors. From left: Two shades of white (bracelet in 16-count braid with sterling silver details), aqua/offwhite bracelet, half made, and mint satin mousetail for the next project.
(Mint is the "hottest" color this season, I´ve heard.)


 Custom necklace in two different techniques;  hollow braid with the trim color as a core and spiral braid with 12 threads.

 Lilac necklace with sterling silver details and Swarovski crystal.

  4. The necklace with the two techniques is gorgeous and I am wondering if you ever made a tutorial for the necklace? I have seen the tutorial for the spiral braid but I am wondering how you started and in a way ended? :-)

  5. Hi, I'm sorry, but I haven't had any time to make any more tutorials lately. I might make some for sale and put them in my store later as many have been asking for that. L
