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!

Things To Make You Happy - Etsy Euro Week FP

In the Etsy Greek Street Team and the European Street Team we celebrated the Etsy Euro Week (March 21-27) with many treasuries this year. We all made a lot of treasuries, and I was really happy that one of the lists I created made it to the front page of Etsy on March 24!

Thanks Etsy!

Touch & Textures

The current theme of the EST weekly challenge has been very intriguing, to say the least. 'The Sense of Touch & Textures', hosted by Sabine of lamarquisedesanges really had me from the start, as it triggers in me the philosophical questions surrounding perception...

Better stick to my entry, though. Inspired by the texture of the materials themselves, and indulging in the fact that the concentric circles are almost psychedelic, I created this Touch and Textures Necklace, out of retro - vintage buttons and solid copper.

Thank you Sabine, for this very inspiring theme!
