The cuff book is now lined, pressed…
…and about to have a selection of papers stitched into it.
A damaged leather and chain boho style leather bracelet is having new leather flowers.
Embroidered like the original felt ones with long stitches in variegated thread with bead centres.
One more to go onto here.
And a beautiful Art Deco buckle which was cracked in two places (centre and bottom right)…
…is becoming an assemblage steampunk style brooch.
In the background, two vintage watch faces, one further embellished with a mother of pearl disc, and a random piece of filigree added to the outside with a humming bird charm dangling from a convenient loop.
Still a little more finishing to do on all of them – I’m finding it difficult to settle to complete one thing at a time these days!
It seems as though “genius burns”, as Jo March used to say…!
Love them all! I’m having problems with concentration (and completion) these days.
Such creative ideas! Love them. 🙂
