Happy Monday - I hope all is right with your world, wherever you are!
Today is another project day - redo #2 in fact. I turned a bulletin board into a display space for my bracelets. That way I can see all of their beautiful colors and shapes at the same time. Most importantly, looking at them simply makes me happy :) All lamp work beads and semi-precious gems were creatively put together by my talented friend Dana Leach.
This black frame began it's life as a custom made, white, shabby chic-looking frame. When the white just wasn't doing it for me any longer, I painted it black, and found some fabric to match with it. I used cork boards directly under the fabric, and secured the cork boards to a large foam core board the size of the frame. Then I started making rows of clear push pins, and arranged all the bracelets on the pins.
Here is the finished results. I'm happy about how it turned out! Just one of MANY cool ways to display your jewelry. I have matching earrings for each bracelet... I think I will hang the earrings with the bracelets now :)
I could look at and touch these beautiful beads and stones all day! The shapes, textures, colors, patterns..... they all give me a sense of calm happiness. And for such a simple transformation, what could be better!?
Love it! You can never go wrong when you paint something black.
ReplyDeleteI love this concept, and great execution--the display board looks great. Your bracelets are beautiful, too, and lovely variety. The one thing is--just a polite suggestion, mind you :) --is that the patterned background on the display board (for me at least) made it harder to see the beautiful bracelets. So, it made me wonder, perhaps, if a solid-colored background might set off the bracelets and show them in their full glory. Truly great work, however--beautiful! :)
