Now for something completely different

During this pandemic I have not been making many new things. I've had ideas and even have the beginning of a new collection (I'll start sharing soon). However, because I subscribe to many other jewelry designers/suppliers newsletters I see many new ideas. One recently caught my eye. Very look different for me. The materials are suede and leather. I've used leather before and most all I made sold. So, it really isn't something completely different. The technique is different. It is also quite simple. (Only backed up twice :-)
Here is the start. It is called "Gaelic Circles Leather". I'm calling my version "Celtic Circles" because it is easier for me to remember and spell. There is an instruction video on YouTube and kits are available in many color versions. I chose a light green suede, light brown leather and copper rings.
Progress. Center section and one side finished. I'm liking this. Now on the the other side.
Here both ends are braided. Now, to gather the findings and finish the bracelet.
Here is the finished bracelet
One more view of the finished bracelet being worn. It is very comfortable.What do you think of it? I hope you are staying well and healthy. Until next week, Bev
