SUMMARY:Silver Clay Wrapped Strap Bracelet $100
DESCRIPTION:Silver with leather makes a classic combination\, expressing our love for the earthy and the inner cowboy! In this class\, make a leather wrap bracelet featuring your handcrafted silver clay button. Inner cowboy or not\, express your own impulses in this piece with imagery created from the fabric of your life (inner and/or outer…)\, using your molds\, textures\, and your own fingers! \n\n\n\nIntermediate to Advanced Level: The silver loop with stones is an optional project for this class\, intended for those with soldering skills. The loop can be made using one or more bezel cups. Other options are listed in the description. \n\n\n\nThe button shown is large at 1″ diameter\, bracelet strap width is 1.5″ — 2.0″. The long leather strap overlaps and has a leather beaded loop to hold the bracelet closed. Optional additions include extra beaded loops (like the one here or strung on round leather cord)\, or for those skilled in silversmithing\, a sterling silver loop\, plain or embellished with a stone setting.** \n\n\n\nUse molded clay pieces or Ready molds to create decorative embellishments or cut out or model your own shapes. Consider using syringe clay. Texture the background\, if desired. \n\n\n\n**Intermediate to advanced level in silversmithing.
