Exploring Leather – Hoops, Bracelets and Beads
by Melissa Jones.
(Annapolis, MD)
After seeing some interesting designs online, I decided to try my hand at making some leather jewelry.
Careful measuring and not getting my fingers in the glue are all challenges for someone who usually works with freeform wire!
I started simple, with leather hoop earrings, then added beaded components. After some experimenting, I realized that I could wire wrap beads onto thicker leather cord (3 mm).
I like where this is going!
