Fiber Art Bracelets Now at Love Life Live Life

A while back a friend of mine from art school, whom I’ve since lost touch with, gave me a bracelet that she had stitched together while working as the hostess at the restaurant where we were both working.   I have been dabbling in creating my own wristbands since then, but it hasn’t really been until now, that I have been really satisfied with the outcome.  The wristbands embrace a love for the handmade, romance, physicality, softness, counter culture and and certainly a dare to be different quality.  They are rich in color and the inspiration in the making of them I have kept quite organic, so I add to the fabric, until I feel satisfied enough to abandon it.  Many times I chose colors that to me have certain responses attached to them, such as in the beige wristband, which I intended to be calming and to have more breath than say the orange band, which is a more fun indie style.  I use a combination of fabrics, wool roving, decorative trim, buttons, and up-cycled upholstery swatches to make the wristbands.  The fabric on the interior of the band is all cotton so it is nice and comfortable on the wrist.  A heavy duty snap secures the band and offers an easy on, off transition.
