Leather - enemy of fingers

Today I worked with leather again after a loooong time - last time being when I was in 6-th grade or even earlier.



So I took the leather leftovers I got from my aunt and pondered what I could possibly make of them. Took some thread and started to randomly embroider on one piece and inspiration struck!

This is a choker necklace~
The flower motif is hand embroidered on the leather. ( it has 5 transparent white seed beads on it)
I lined the leather part with black cotton (to avoid getting black splotches on the skin around the area)
Chain for the closure is hand twisted with black seed beads.

Materials: Leather, cotton cloth, wire, thread, seed beads..

Aftermath:
Fingers: ouch
Necklace: pretty!

I love your choker. The pattern is simple and beautiful. I have not read your blog before, but I am excited to see what you add next. I commend your creativity.

PS. It makes me chuckle to hear you speak of needing to make an object for your sister first/too. I have a twin sister of my own. :) And that is exactly how we work too.
