Bonjour!   Yes...I made yet another leather wrap bracelet.  In fact I made two this weekend.   Twelve feet of leather, thirty-six feet of thread and 3 1/2 hours later lies my first five wrap leather bracelet.   Whew!  Glad that's over.  The best thing when making one of these babies is at the end when you clip off the excess thread.   A stone to bring one back down to earth.  I personally like to daydream so it's good that this bracelet is leaving the nest.   Have a great weekend...what's left of it. Namaste Kalaya

Remember when I said, "Enough with leather bracelets"?  Well I'm back at it.   I finished making two leather bracelets for a workshop promotion that yours truly will be instructing.       Here is a one wrap bracelet made with leopard jasper.  I really like the patterns with this particular jasper but I tend to migrate to jasper in general.  This stone has a reputation for protection and healing powers.  Below has got to be my most fav!  It is a three wrap made with Carnelian and carved bone skulls.  Carnelian has a reputation to give the wearer courage and protection...against lightning.  The Egyptians believed it would rid you of anger, envy and hatred.   I took these pictures this evening.  Can you tell?  I hope to have a good picture taking setup soon.  I'll share with all of you how that turns out once I have everything set up.  So stay in touch!   AND remember... Tomorrow is hump day.  Y...
