About this design:
I joined this web site last night and saw a fishtailed bracelet and knew I had to try it! I woke up this morning and this is what I came up with:) just a simple hemp and leather piece that can be paired with a bit of color or just be left alone;) I wish I knew this site better as I would give credit to the person that inspired me. I marked hers as a fav but I cannot find it today:( I will figure it out soon I am sure and then give due credit!
Components:
Hemp weaved with copper color and silver, dark brown leather cording, buffalo nickle button.Additional Images:

foxhill designs vt says:I just created my profile recently. If you go to the left of this page and click on find headers. Then choose yourself from the list. You will see where you can edit your profile, etc.
Another great bracelet!

TheBohemianCowgirls says:Thanks so much. I’m not listed? Maybe it’s too soon? I will try again later:)

foxhill designs vt says:I tried searching for you in the list. It said that you have to have one of the parts filled in to show up in the list. I think if you create a fresh pick (which is very addictive
) then you will find yourself when you click find headers.
The fresh picks are really fun, if you haven’t discovered them yet.

foxhill designs vt says:Oops. I meant find headers…I ‘m typing on my kindle.

foxhill designs vt says:Sorry again. It is spell checking me. Beaders!!

Elis Mom says:I think Foxhill is right. You need to create a Fresh Pick…then you can create a profile. Make sure you are logged into your account, create a pick, make your profile. Fresh Picks ARE fun!
