About this design:
Leather Wrap Bracelet with Pearls and Montana Blue Crystals. I wanted to try something a little different so I worked in a beautiful piece of ribbon.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I love EVERYTHING about this amazing, bracelet, Val! The colors, the style, the multi-bracelet look, the ribbon, the tiny bird, and your clasp combine to make a truly OOAK design!
The Montana blue crystals are my fave shade — I’ve used them in soooooo many necklaces, bracelets, earrings, a watch…..well, you get the idea…..

JustImagine - Val says:Thank you all so much! Jenni, the button came from my local Joanne Fabrics store. The little bird button came from a local specialty fiber store. This bracelet went to a wonderful new home yesterday. It is always nice when your “babies” go off to a good home.
