Each of us need encouragement or reminders of our strengths. Why not let your jewelry function not only as an accent piece but also as a source of inspiration.
So I have created my own line of jewelry to inspire. Through the use of bracelet blanks, acid etching and creative designs I believe I have achieved my goal.

The design can be applied by freehand, stencils, stickers, etc. Once the design is applied to the bracelet blank the next step is to acid etch the design into the bracelet blank. I follow Karen McGovern’s tutorial for etching aluminum – this tutorial can be found at

Once the acid etching is completed and the bracelet blank has been thoroughly cleaned you can then apply a patina to create contrast and enhance the beauty of your piece.
