7000 Bracelets for Hope

The 7000 Bracelets for Hope Campaign is to help raise awareness for kids living with rare diseases and also to show support for the family members caring for the children. The Global Genes Project is asking jewelry designers, beaders, crafters and artisans to donate hand-crafted, blue jean-inspired bracelets for the cause. Below, is the bracelet I made to donate this year...

 Blue Flower Macrame Bracelet

 My blue flower macrame bracelet is created with sodalite and turquoise rounds, along with brass cornerless cubes and brass findings. I hand-knotted the beads onto waxed linen cord using a square knot macrame technique to create the flower motif. I love it. I had so much fun designing this bracelet! I hope the recipient enjoys wearing it with her favorite pair of jeans and I hope it brightens her day a little.

 I hope you enjoyed my design, as well. Now, please join me and visit some others who also made bracelets to donate to this worthy cause. Two lovely ladies in the bead blogging community are our hosts of the blog hop today for this year's bracelet campaign... 

Elysian Studios  and  One Kiss Creations.

Thank you Erin and Christine for organizing the hop and getting us all together!

 Below is the list of generous artists donating a bracelet and participating in the blog hop. Enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's bracelet designs.
