Art d'Junque 2014

The Brownsville Art Center will be hosting the Art d'Junque show during July and August!  In addition to a couple of my block necklaces, I hope to be showing some bracelets that I made from the cuffs of old shirts.  (Thanks, Uncle Dave!) I decorated them with scraps of lace and whatnot, a lot of which is taken from more old clothing.

All photos are by Tim Counts.

The centers of the flowers are vintage boy scout buttons.

I salvaged this lace appliqué from a piece of what may have been an old wedding dress.  The fabric it was originally sewn to was white, anyway.  It was in a bag of bits of fancy trim from a garage sale.  

This bracelet features one of my very first attempts at bead weaving.
That band of pink and black seed beads was made with a square stitch.

Any cuffs that don't sell at the show will be added to our Etsy site, so keep an eye on the shop if you can't make it to Brownsville.  Also keep in mind that I am happy to do custom work.  If you want something similar to what you see here, just contact us.
