Pacific Octopus Bracelet

 Infinity bracelets are sold by many shop owners on Etsy. I happened to stumble across a bracelet that was made with leather, an infinity charm, and ship's wheel.








I liked the design, but left off the infinity charm. It took a surprising amount of time to gather the supplies needed to make myself one. I found 5mm PU braided leather and 20mm ribbon fasteners from Etsy, charms from Etsy as well as Ebay, and 1.5mm leather cord from Fusion Beads.

There was not much too it after that, just tying the leather, clipping it to the correct length, and connecting the fasteners. I am happy with it. The leather is a very dark blue, like the storming seas, and the octopus looks like the kraken himself.

There is a simple hand made clasp hooking the two fasteners.

This photo was taken in my garden, next to the bleeding heart that has finished blooming, on a rock that looks too me like a dragon skull. Perhaps a young dragon did not live to see adult age. But rather than leave bones behind to be discovered, turned to stone, so as no one would ever find proof, of the existence of such magnificent, dangerous creatures.
