Today seemed right for a bright, springy little piece. I made tiny fold form leaves and then a charm bracelet to spice them up. Play the slideshow to see details. The smaller green gemstone beads are apatite and hang from torch-balled sterling silver wire. The larger wire-wrapped beads are magnesite. The sterling silver chain is commercial; the clasp, hand crafted. This piece is here in the shop.
If I can tear myself away from fold forming in the next couple days, I'll try another version of the Tree of Life pendant. Don't forget about the April 1 drawing for one of those! To enter, just post a comment on any One-a-day blog post during March, and tell me what you think of a piece and why. Read all about it here. I'd really love to hear your feedback, ideas, suggestions, or questions. I'm learning as I go, and your opinions are helpful. Hope to see you tomorrow:)

I love this bracelet. It seems very organic and flowy. I love that the focal pieces are the leaves and there is so much detail on them. You so such fabulous work!
