Last Saturday I took Louise McClure's Charm Bracelet Class at Random Arts. Below is a picture of the six-strand charm bracelet designed by Louise All the supplies were provided, but it will take me a while longer to finish my bracelet. It is definitely a project that I want to complete. When I do, I will post a picture.
We worked with beads, findings, a variety of wires, coin holders, button backs, special papers, rubber stamps, embossing powder, mica, UTEE, ball chain,ribbons and more. My favorite of the charms we made on Saturday was the scroll charm: It is done with beads, findings, paper and aquarium tubing.
I've taken classes with Louise several times before so I was not surprised at the generosity and organization in her teaching.
It was a fun day despite my arthritic hands. THANKS LOUISE!
This looks such fun but very fiddly - I would never have the patience; glad to hear though that arthritis is not a barrier to working with small things. I suppose it isn't when one really wants to do something. Would love to see your finished bracelet.
