Bla Bla Blog: Sari Ribbon Party Blog Hop

Friday, October 14, 2011

So in my previous post I showed off some of my pieces using sari ribbon, but I saved the best for the blog hop. I was excited to put this piece together and made many of the components myself. The name of my piece is Autumn Garden Bracelet. My inspiration came from Barbara Lewis and her wonderful book, Painting With Fire- Torch Fired Enamel Jewelry. She has a piece in it titled Harem that I borrowed the idea from...and then as usual I expanded on it in the way only I can.

First I made the lamp work "flower" bead for the center of the bracelet and enameled head pins and beads to add to it:

Then I picked out my sari ribbon, which I purchased from Barbara Lewis . She sells everything you need to get started with torch fired enameling and some beautiful sari ribbon too!

I then used a 7 inch piece of cotton rope and covered it in a coordinating fabric and began wrapping it in all the beads and fibers. Here are the pictures of the end result....

I hope you enjoyed seeing my piece...stop at the other blogs and enjoy and be inspired by all the creations!
