My entry for AprilABS is kind of my own personal/private fun experimental workshop put together in a bracelet. I have spent a lot of time scrutinizing Klee's painting. There are so many forms, colors and details in that painting you will never be finished looking at it. Always something new to experience and so many different ways of looking at it. It has really grown on me. (Although I have always been a fan of Klee.)
Other materials/supplies I have used are black leather cord, recycled sari silk from Objects & Elements, an enamaled bead by Barbara Lewis at PaintingWithFire, various beads of wood, glass and brass, waxed linen cord and bronze wire.
For the "leaf dangle" I used a brass folded leaf from Objects & Elements and added an enameled headpin by Barbara Lewis. I made a spiral shape of the headpin.
Please write a comment! I would be very happy to hear what you think of this.

very cool malin!!
Oh how very cool!
Oh you are too kind! I might redo it anyway. I think i will take away the polymer clay curve. I do like it a lot but it becomes a bit too much with the other things on that particular bracelet. And i will use the curve on something else. Whenever I get around to do it. I am not very quick in my production. Too many ideas, too little finishing spirit i believe ...
i really think this is great... you put a lot of time and thought into it... your focal is colored in such an interesting way, i would love to see it in person! i didn't get around to the challenge this month as much as i wanted to - but i saw fibers in it as well, a translation of the softness that contrasts against the line and spots of bold color - you did a fabulous job!
oh, and i meant to tell you that i loved your comment on the abs post about losing your muse... the advice your art teacher gave you lines right up with what we are taught about our kids - they get the most upset and frustrated when their brains are ready for the next step, but their bodies cannot keep up... very interesting point, and one i will remember!
This bracelet is sooo cool! I love how everything flows round and round and your eye just keeps flowing.
Well done Malin. I am very happy for you!
Your bracelet is wonderful and congrats for being designer of the week at ABS. You deserve it so much!
regards Stefanie
This is so my style!
