I found this old jacket at a block sale for 50 cents. Obviously someone made it. It had wide butterfly-like sleeves with tassels around the edges. I was going to update it, florals are quite in this year, but thought about it a bit and my conclusion is a little goes a long way. Just a touch in a bracelet seems enough.

Genevieve and blue lariat necklace
For a while I was tying pieces of leather string around my neck. I thought that I could elaborate on that by cutting a feather silhouette and adding some vintage beads. Most of the beads I use are special to me. Many of the them were gifted to me by a friend when I was in my teens.
Dana with button bracelet
I enjoy making these simple bracelets using my stash of antique and vintage buttons. And the leather varies with what I can find as remnants at our local leather shop. Often friends stop by to drop me off leather pieces as well.
They can also be worn as a necklaces and headbands and hair ties. So many uses, a lot of fun!
