Hello everyone.

I spent my morning making this bracelet:





I triple-laminated a bunch of construction paper with clear shipping tape, cut it into funky little shapes, and threaded it onto beading thread. It took me about three hours to make this one bracelet. It pokes a little when you wear it, but I made it big so it has room to move around at least. I really like how it came out.

Also, I am on a search for the perfect handmade, one-of-a-kind, DIY handbag. I've looked around at the swap/trade communities but it seems like they're either dead or overrun by people hawking their own stuff with no intent to trade so I'm asking here. I hope that's okay. I have my own jewelry business, and I'm looking to trade jewelry for a handbag. I'm looking for something with a hippie/boho kind of vibe, that can be worn comfortably over the shoulder. Everyone here is so talented so I'm hoping someone sees this who can help me out.
