Ocean blues and aquas combine with silver and gunmetal (and a tiny touch of royal purple) for a refreshing, summery art charm bracelet.

This bracelet features 7 vintage opaque aqua pressed glass flower beads, 11 of my lampwork beads, indicolite Swarovski crystals for sparkle, and five limited edition mixed media art charms (one of my shrink plastic birds, one of my collaged wood beads, Peg Krzyzewski's shimmery dichroic glas cabochon, one of my sliders & swirls charms, and one of my bead-embroidered felted wool charms).

The bracelet measures 7-1/4" in length, so it should fit wrists 6-1/4" to 7" in diameter comfortably. If you need a shorter length, just hook the lobster clasp onto one of the bracelet chain links.

What is an Art Charm?

An Art Charm is a tiny work of art with a jump ring on it for attaching to something - a bracelet, or used as a pendant, or incorporated into home decor. Art Charms may be made of almost any kind of material, using almost any kind of artistic technique. An Art Charm is the product of an individual artist or collaborative group, but not something that has been cranked out in a factory. Many contemporary artists worldwide are making and swapping Art Charms.

Want to learn more about art charms? Making Mixed Media Art Charms & Jewelry is a great resource, if I do say so myself (I wrote it with my dear friend Peg Krzyzewski). You can find the book here in my shop or on Amazon.
