It's Here!!!

7000 Bracelets for Hope Blog Hop


A few posts back I mentioned I was taking part in the above campaign....participants are asked to create one bracelet {in an adult size} in a denim/blue jeans-inspired theme.  The campaign is organised by The Global Genes Project, an advocacy group who launched "7000 Bracelets for Hope", for children with rare diseases. The bracelets are given to one of 7000 families who have children with rare diseases to show them love and support.

Today is reveal day, here's my creation....



The brief was to create a bracelet for an adult with a denim theme to it.  As we know not everyone has the same wrist size so I cheated slightly, what better way to make sure you have a perfect fit for any size wrist than to use elastic as a stringing material!  The design is made up of super sparkly crystal rounds, lapis lazuli and silver toned twisted beads....this piece catches the light beautifully....and am ashamed to say I nearly decided to keep it for myself! ;oO

There's an amazing 112 participants in this blog hop....and you can visit each and everyone just by clicking on the links to their blogs below, I am sure with all the gorgeous-ness created by these fabulous artists you will be drooling by the end of the hop! 

Thanks again Lori for another inspiring blog hop request!

Enjoy!
