Into the Forest Blog Hop - Reveal Date January 11th.

 Forest Walk

I ask my husband -who has no idea about this blog hop- what his first association
is when looking at this bracelet… He mentiones the name of a small forest
located close to where we live. Okay, right! Mission accomplished J
 
I decided to take a walk (-: and enjoy all those lovely shades of green. Our winter is
mild this year, no snow, no ice, with a lot of sunny days until now!

There are even some dried up brambles there, when you take a good look.
And  lots of brown coloured dead branches with dried up 'golden' leafs.
A perfect concept for my design...


The focal used as a centrepiece is made by Shaterra, she is 'on Etsy'.
I used some of the Czech
glass beads from the bead kit sent by Lisa Lodge
(our
♥lovely hostess) in my design. The glass
beads are made by me,
the semi-precious leaves were in my stash for years!


In my bracelet Forest Walk, you find the sunbeams (a bit on the right side) 
and all kind of different forest flora greens with a  hint of purplish red for
some
berries in my glass beads…

 
Enjoy my and your virtual Into the Forest Fun!
