Such a long time since I last presented a bracelet here so high time I did it again.
Christmas was long time ago too but as you see, it is not that easy to collect all the bracelet alliance pieces. One "member" was presented here and the other here later on. The one I show you today was made for the same person who has been proposed when she was wearing my necklace for the first time (story here). The main theme of the wedding will be green, just like it is the main color of the bracelet she got from me.
The person who got this necklace also got a song from me. I think this is a beautiful one though I couldn't sing it as beautifully as Sebestyén Márta does, and the tears in Annamaria's eyes did not make it easier either. Unfortunately there is even a video recording of my "performance".
Here is the necklace and here is the lyrics of the song - it is in Hungarian, sorry. But for all those who would like to listen, I also insert the song itself at the end of this post. If you have a heart for it you don't even need to understand the lyrics (although it is beautiful), you will feel the flow anyway. 1. Azt gondoltam eső esik Pedig a szemem könnyezik Az én szemem sűrű felhő, S onnan ver engem az eső.
2. Gyere rózsám békélünk meg, Mi egymásnak engedjünk meg ||: Mindig voltak kik így jártak, mind megengedtek egymásnak :||
3. ||: Nyújtsad kezed, bár egy felet, bár még egy szót szóljak veled :|| ||: Nyújtsad kezed keresztesem, Búcsúzzunk el örökösen :||
4. ||: Úgy fáj az én gyönge szívem, nem tudom tied fáj e vagy nem :|| Fáj is annak, mit tudsz tenni, Mikor ennek így kell lenni, Ha a tied úgy tud fájni, Soha sem tudunk megválni.
I don't have many bracelets and as you see, it is not the main thing I usually make. But the ones I have are really bold pieces sometimes and they can make a whole outfit - you put on a black top and a bracelet that stands out and that's it. The same goes to earrings of course, but bracelets are sometimes more visible.
So I made this one to have a feminine black piece. I have a black one, my roommate with whom I was living together in Italy left it in the flat after moving out which means it is not really "mine".
The beads you see here are made of the usual stuff: ceramic and wood. The double thread is textile and silk. This one goes best with a suit or a simple blazer, I wore it only once so far matched with a white blazer.
Last October I was on a business trip with two of my colleagues. We had a couple of free hours in an afternoon and went to do some shopping as we had a long wishlist from the office and our family. In one shop we all received a free bracelet from the shopkeeper and we decided to found our "Bracelet-alliance" right there. This was the bracelet that inspired the Christmas present for three of my friends. I made similar, but not identical bracelets for the four of us. Each was made on the same scheme by using small black beads with three more emphasised pieces but they all wore a bit of the style of the owner thanks to these three beads that were different. The one I show you here is mine. For myself I chose this natural, beige colour. The beads were applied on a fine silk thread but even this thin thread was too thick for some of the creamic beads so I had to work on them to enlarge the hole a bit. This is why you see some white powder on the ready piece above, this powder of course disappeared at the first wearing.
Very simple, easy-to-make bracelet, with a lot of variations. Can go with smart clothing and with casual as well, it all just depends on the three major beads. I might be doing a lot of this style later on...
