Art From Reclaimed Wood Shipping Pallets

Wood shipping pallets are one of the hottest items being repurposed and upcycled 

today. We've seen potting benches, tables, all types of furniture, and the list goes on.

One of my favorite ways to see old pallets being upcycled is when they are

 turned into some type of art. 

Here are a few that you may find interesting...

On My Workbench: Boho Amazonite Bracelet

A peek into my workshop...

Boho Amazonite Gemstone Bracelet

I was crazy about these small rectangular silver link findings and  faceted 
Amazonite rondelle beads. I love faceted rondelles!

I thought that together they'd make a nice combination. 
I like the way the blue-green Amazonite and the silver compliment each other. 

I decided to alternate them in a design and create a Boho style link bracelet. 

I cut 2" pieces of silver wire and using a simple wrapped loop technique, connected the beads and silver links together until I had the bracelet length that I wanted. 

Then I simply added a clasp, and it was finished!

I love the end result!
