About this design:
This is the cousin to "Whimsical Wood Bouquet Bracelet" which I also made for Chickies Etsy shop. The wood focal is slightly off centre and the bouquet more in centre. Might be slightly unbalanced too, but no redo on this, that will not the leather or me take ;) The bouquet in center is made with vintaj findings the other one is mixed metal. The wood focal I have made, keeping this one simple too. What do you think? Same price on this one or?

rootware says:Going to disagree here… I think the balance is perfect! Love the super bright colors with the cord… played down with the white to give it a neutral base. Great work!
