Watch Bands

Last Spring, I was in an antique store in Milford, PA and bought 4 old metal watch bands.  Two are silver tone, one gold tone, one copper tone.  A week later, I was in Target and saw Timex watch bands on clearance and bought them.  It took a while, but I started what has been simmering in my mind for too many months.  A gentle but unknowing nudge from Liz finally got this project off the ground.

First up is the RED HOT Timex band with a Square Stitch panel:

Size 8 brown seed beads, size 8 turquoise picasso seed beads, size 11 matte cream seed beads, red picasso super unos

Next is a Brick Stitch creation on a silver tone metal band:

size 15 turquoise seed beads, size 11 cream matte seed beads, size 11 & 8 black matte seed beads, size 8 red seed beads, czech beads

The final watch band bracelet for now (I still have a few left and will certainly pick up more as I find them as I am having Fun with this!) is a mix of inspiration from Cynthia.  She taught me a half-hitch knot with hemp and gave me this bracelet bar component from Blu Mudd.

I had no intention to blog today, but...Snow.  If not for snow, January would have only had one blog post.  So I guess it is good for something :-)

Stay warm, dry, and on solid ground, my friends!
