bracelet


A group of us got together to experiment and play and this is the result.  It's a bracelet based on an article last year in Quilting Arts magazine.  Sometimes it's nice not to have an agenda and just go where the fabric and "junk" takes you.   This was cut off a larger piece that I made that is now awaiting lots more embellishing.  But with the Olympics on, all I can do is knit scarves as my fingers can do the work while I'm watching TV!  

It's made with pellon that had been coloured with transfer inks, covered with steam a seam, threads and glitz added, then a layer of purple shear ironed on.  Stitching was added along with beads, and the back is purple dupion silk crossed with orange which provides the fringe.
