New Items
Firecracker plus
I made this at
the request of a friend who saw some of my other Magatama Kumihimo
bracelets. This is sold but I can make a similar one. It is almost
impossible to make pieces exactly alike in this pattern. So many
different variables. The way the colors are arranged on the disk, the
clasp etc.
The
colors would not have been MY first choice but after seeing the
finished bracelet, I really like them. My supplier has over 72 different
colors to choose from (I know that should be 'from which to choose') If
you use about four different colors per bracelet that is a lot of
choices!
She provided the clasp and there is another choice to make.
Here is a close up of the beads.
Contact me if you are interested in having your very own Firecracker type bracelet.
My
other new bracelet, Polka Dot, is of interest because of the new kind
of clasp, rather than the design though the design is interesting, too.
Clasps are always hard to put on yourself and that is what makes
magnetic clasps so desirable. But they also have some draw backs.
That
always reminds me of the first magnetic clasp bracelet I made along
time ago. It wasn't very strong and led to the following story:
"I've lost my new bracelet, please, let me know if you find it." I knew it was in the house but not where.
Shortly, my husband walked into the room with the lost bracelet. "Where did you find it?"
"In the freezer" The freezer had more attraction than I did, I guess.
Consequently, I have not made any more magnetic clasp bracelets since. Until now.
This
clasp is magnetic and includes the end caps BUT in addition has a
locking feature such that with just a small turn, the clasp is securely
locked in place. Just untwist and pull to open. How is that for coolness in a clasp?
The combination of end caps and clasp is a great cost saver both for me and for you as a customer.
I call this one "Polka Dot" and it is on the website with more more pictures. Click on the pictures or here for more information.
