Change one thing

Recycled glass bead bracelet | beads made from wine and gin bottles

I am slightly obsessed by the idea of “changing one thing” at the moment. In this latest series of leaf bracelets I have changed one thing about each design and created a completely different bracelet.

In the world we live in we are currently bombarded with ideas for change. Eat this, do this, buy these products – blah, blah, blah. You could never take it all on board. But you can change one little thing and see what happens.

Like here, we have started growing some of our own vegetables and fruit. It has been lovely every time we have cooked something from our garden. Makes us feel good, and it tastes good too!

What changes have you made lately? I would love to hear about them.

All from a broken cup…

recycled glass beads

Remember that broken orange cup from last week? I made these earrings and this necklace from the cup.

I had also made a bunch of small round beads to test out the glass and see how it reacted in the flame. They have been sitting on my workbench for a little while now, and today I thought I would try to make a bracelet with them.

I moved beads in and out, and around, and back in again until I finally landed on something I quite liked. Here it is…
