So, I've wanted to try bracelets for a long time now and finally started working on it. Definitely learning with Copper, and most of my wraps are Copper at the moment too since silver is so freaking expensive. Anyways not the point. So I started simple and then tried a cab wrap after that. I have some ideas to improve but want to see what you guys think.

Also, would love to know who else makes bracelets and would love to see them

That copper brings out the color of that turquoise! I think you are doing a great job! I have not tried bracelets but I do remember that Lori did some amazing ones a while back. Someone else was doing some great ones too, just can't remember who it was now. Could have been Jo.
Keep up the great work!

The ones with the stones are challenging. Very cool!!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
