Tuesday Revamp (#3)

So this weeks revamp is the most diffrent than the other revamps.  I really LOVE it!  I need to get more charms so I can sell more than one of these.

The old one:
This was made with 1mm waxed black hemp.  This is in a spiral design with 3 guitars, then a 4th guitar for a loop and charm closure.  I didnt have jump rings at the time, so the charms were tied onto the hemp.


The revamp:
I love this.  I used waxed 1mm brown hemp and waxed 1mm brown/tan hemp for highlights.  This can actually be somewhat reversable.  This is no longer in a spiral pattern, and I added 4 brown beads for decoration.  I used brown hemp becasue most acoustic guitars are some sort of brown color. 
So, its snowing outside, and that is where I take all my pictures.  I had to take the pictures inside, so they don't look so well.  I won't put this on sale yet, I will wait to take better pictures before I put it up on etsy.  Hopefully by then, I will have more charms on the way or here already.






Let me know what you think!!

Revamp #2

My second Revamp, which I redid last night and took pictures of today is my dragon bracelet.  It is a black Dragon bracelet, in the spiral pattern.  It measured about 7 1/2 inches.  The dragons stuck out every which way. 



Now:
I made it a little thicker, to be stronger.  The first one had 2 strands of 1mm hemp as the base, the revamp version has 4 strands of 1 mm hemp as the base.  I also added a gray strand to it, to give it a hint of color.  This is not an inch longer at 8 1/2 inches, making it almost the perfect size for an anklet.  Will make custom sizes.

Revamping

So, Looking back at my items, I have improved a lot.  I am going to be working on revamping some of my first items.   I started this process today, and wanted to show you one of the items I decided to redo!

First:  The music note car mirror decoration.

This has been up for 4 monthes, with 90 views, 3 hearts.  Not only has my work improved, so has my picture taking ability.  I think I made this in like February of last year, before I knew of Etsy, when I was just doing this becasue I was bored.  Its original intent was to be a bracelet, but at 9 inches didnt turn out that way.  I think it looks a lot better now!

Before:



The New and improved Bracelet, that now measures a little under 7 inches.




What do you think?
