The Watercolor Paper Bracelet is a uniquely original and beautiful jewelry object to create, and I have developed a variety of bracelet types based on different structural designs.

The type that I am featuring in this video series is particularly nice because of its flexibility and ease of size adjustment. The bracelet itself is made up of unit forms that are interconnected with a cord. The cord can be any material of your choice, as long as it is fairly strong. Because the bracelet consists of smaller, interconnected unit forms, it is easily sized to fit any wrist, and the interconnection of its unit shapes with a flexible cord makes it comfortable to wear.

Although I used a simple rectangular forms for the basic unit shapes of the bracelet that you see illustrated here, there is absolutely no limit to the design possibilities for the braclet's interconnected shapes. When designing the bracelet, I encourage you to look at nature for inspiration, the shapes of flowers, stones on the beach, we are surrounded by the raw material for one's imagination to build upon! Also look at the work of other artists, I particularly like artists of the early 20th century. Miro is one of my favorites, in his paintings he created wonderful forms that can easily be translated into shapes for jewelry.
