Leather Cuff Bracelets

I fell in love with leather in 4H when I was 12, unfortunately I didn't stick with it and was on to the net big thing after a year of it.  I don't remember what was more important in my world but I wish I had passed it buy and stuck with the leather.

Leather cuffs seem to be all the rage lately I have seen them in adds and on TV so I thought why not revisit my love for leather.  I made these from scratch purchasing the leather and snaps from Tandy since they didn't have any color selection in the ready made style.  If you have been reading my blog for anytime at all you know I like to make things from the ground up anyway.  

Deep Purple Leather Cuff $50.00

 I'm really bummed that the colors don't photograph better because these are all different colors.  I have dark brown, black and a really beautiful eggplant purple.  These have two snaps and are adjustable to accommodate most wrist sizes.

Halloween Jewelry

I know I'm a little late to the party since most bead makers put their Halloween jewelry out right after school starts but I just couldn't get in the grove.  I made this skull a couple months ago and he has just been hanging around waiting for the perfect project.  After a few shots at using the skull in a design I landed on this one and I am very happy with it.

I'm glad I don't have to take photos of contrasting jewelry often because it isn't easy to get everything to show up.   My photography has gotten better over the past year but high contrast still stumps me.  If you light it to much then everything light turns to mush and if you don't light it enough it all goes grainy.
