The Forgotten Flower Bracelet

I absolutely love to design with patinaed items. This bracelet combines my love of filigree with the "old" look of patina. The flower came in several parts and was fun to assemble... overall, this was a very fun design project...when combined with the little flowered dangles, I think it is simply charming.

The holidays are over and I am just getting back to listing some new creations......feels good, really good! Lots of snow in central Ohio this week although we didn't have any on Christmas Day. Hoping that everyone had some very happy and memorable holidays! My oldest son's birthday is today so no more celebrations until February when my youngest son and I have our birthdays!
