Flowers By The Lake

This week, the winner of the European Street Team weekly challenge and new host is juanitatortilla, who picked the theme Hills and Lakes. You can see the relevant post, as well as all the entries for the challenge, in her lovely blog here.

Now, keeping in mind the theme Hills and Lakes, I started thinking of the wildflowers that grow around lakes. It helped that the weather was starting to get warmer and there was plenty of sunshine... So I made this bracelet using reclaimed beads in shades of blue and pink, and combined them with an image of a pink and yellow flower from an old book. Everything is connected using brass wire or chain and antique bronze findings.


 

 




This bracelet is suitable for smaller wrists too, as it closes in three separate lengths. It is definitely going to be your favorite bracelet for spring!
