You may have noticed I have a weakness for pretty focal pieces, especially handmade artisan ones. Back at the beginning of the month I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive this pretty handmade porcelain feather bracelet bar from Mari Carmen Rodriguez Martinez of Majoyoal. The gift came with strings attached (no pun intended) and I had to agree to make something with it. Whew, what a tough assignment (read with sarcasm).
The first thing I did was to attach literal strings to the piece (bwahahaha) because I'm all about the macrame. I wanted to do something to sort of mimic the lines of the feather, so I modified my Falling Leaves pattern, elongating it and adding a "quill".
To add a bit more color and some different texture, I added a couple strands of seed beads and made it a multi strand bracelet. I think it's a fun piece and spot on for the autumn season!
Many thanks to Mari for the gift of her gorgeous focal and to Janice Everett of J-Lynn Jewels who put together a great Facebook group and this component giveaway!
