A few weeks ago, I found out about the 7000 Bracelets Blog Hop. It is a fun hop, for a good cause. Check out the button on the right to see more about this wonderful event. The theme for this was denim/blue, and the bracelets needed to be adjustable so that whoever receives the bracelets can wear them. Those were the only rules, and so it opened up a wide range of possibilities. I decided to start with the denim idea, and made some fiber and denim rolled beads. Then I made some seed bead spacers/bead caps. Then I added some denim lapis end beads and lots of copper for some subtle bling. I had so much fun, I had to make a second, similar bracelet using turquoise beads. Here are the bracelets.

I didn't model the second one, but you get the idea, LOL. Anyway, here's a list of the talented artists participating in this great cause. Enjoy the hop! I know I can't wait!

Shannon, I LOVE that denim one! How fantastic and inventive and a great mix of design elements. Both bracelets are so lovely and casual, but really grab your attention. I like the outline of copper chain. A lot! Thank you so much for joining this event :-)

Wow! That was a great idea that turned out beautiful. I'd love to see a close-up of the fabric beads. The pairing of the denim and copper was a wonderful choice. Great job!
What lovely bracelets! I love the turquoise one, but the denim is exquisite.

Love copper and blue these are beautiful! Love the denim you made it work wonderfully! Happy Hopping!
I love both designs. Pairing the copper with the denim blue really works well.
CLEVER! I like them!
Beautiful work! I love the Denim Piece! I have got to figure out how you did it! Two mothers are going to feel so loved when they receive such wonderful pieces. Nice to meet you!
Both designs are very creative and lovely- copper and blue/turquoise just go together so well! Thank you for generously making two, and I know that whoever receives them will feel very special. Thank you for joining us for this hop!
Beautiful bracelets. The weaving on the first one is beautiful. It's my favorite. Great job!
I love how you combined the chain with the beads - that is an awesome design! Very pretty...both of them!
I love your fiber beads!! I really think that the recipients will love the warmth of the fiber!! Lovely work!!
Oh.. turquoise and copper... fave :) but that top one is so cool!
Very pretty! I'm sure the person who receives this bracelet will just love it ;)
Both of these are lovely. However, I really do like the added denim and other bits in the first one. They both will be special reminders for a woman who needs plenty of encouragement that someone out there had lent some strength. Well done.
Wow - that denim one is way cool! The turquoise is my favorite of the two though cause I just have a soft spot for turquoise and copper! Lovely designs, both of them!
Mary, both designs are wonderful, but your beadweaving in the Denim Bracelet is fantastic!!! Beautifully done!!
Hello Mary, I LOVE the copper n blue mixture in your bracelets. All three are very beautiful and will be loved by the person that receives them.
