That's a nice inspiration - will have to get my navy leather out too as don't wear it enough. I can't get the hang of how to wear it best - any tips would be appreciated! I've tried wrapping it round (sort of a 2 strand plait) but it never works!

I agree! I have tried and swapped and tried again the TB leather. No idea why I bought another one. Once this one is swapped I promise myself to never buy another. Even so, would love to hear tips!  Laughing

Fuzzy, this is GREAT! And I love your OOAKs! (I love funky!)

I don't wear my leather near as much as I should either...but I did recently discover something cool (I think Wink) using a black rubber X link as a kind of spacer...gives it a little extra something. Two X links spaced a little apart gives a nice design as well (sorry, don't have a photo of that)

I agree, those are some fun uniques and the silvers are perfect Smile

I love wearing my leathers with just a few beads as well

Sometimes I wear them with just a few glass, but I've realized I never wear them with glass and silver at the same time. Perhaps I need to experiment a bit ...

Oh I like these pics - more please! Good idea to use larger silvers and thread through more than one section. will have to keep trying I guess.

I tend to wear mine for things like days at the beach when I wouldn't feel "safe" wearing a whole bracelet (someone told a very sad story about loosing a whole bracelet on Lyme Regis beach, I look for it every time I visit, although even if I found it for you it would be pretty beaten up by now  Sad )

I think you have to be very relaxed about the leather, it just has to fall into place, I wear a few beads and wrap it twice round my wrist, it seems to work best when it is a bit tangled and chaotic.

Very beautiful Fuzzyfeet! It looks like a wonderful day at the beach Smile !

I only very seldomly wear my uni-tone leathers, but I love the two-tone ones. For me they work best with only two, maximum three beads (if the third is a really tiny lightweight silver one). Normally I put one glass on one strand at the far end and one silver on the other strand at the very beginning (or the other way round) and wrap it around my wrist two times, not braiding it too much, just a very little bit, sometimes not at all. The blue-grey works lovely with my current X, so I usually stack it - and it is my relaxed beach-outfit (no beach here but the thought counts Smile ). The brown-grey one I leave as it is and it has a soothing, calming effect on me Smile For me they have a more casual look so I usually wear them when I am in a really casual mood Smile

Strike - your bracelet inspired me on the spot and now my all-brown bracelet and the lovely under-worn baby dragon will finally get to be worn. I added a tiny brown amber to it and I love it Love 

Stacecase - I will try the spacer thingy, as well Smile

Thank you so much, Fuzzyfeet and Strike and Stacecase for your inspiration  Hug
