... A NEW design on board!!

        Yes, this new design has its own look!!! ... even though I have no name for it yet. 

     It is a combination of two former designs, Sided-Arrows and Double Waves.  I am trying to create new styles to get out of the common designs and at the same time, see how creative I can get with these colorful embroidery threads. 
     Purple and Lime Green are in!  Each color contrasts each other for this design to stand out more. I love the color combination!!

"It should always be the month of the HEART"

      WOW!! ... yes, February is already gone.  The most romantic month is about to end but even though this month is over, it does not mean that we have to forget about our love ones or let our heart aside.  Let's love who we want to love but especially our HEART everyday of the year.  This month is considered to be HEART AWARENESS so let's keep an eye on our hearts all year round and not only in February.

Supporting the end of Domestic Violence!!

      As I started to create ideas on making a different design for my friendship bracelets, definitely the notion of creating awareness came to my mind.  Why wear just a simple friendship bracelet when I could make one that can have its own ideas behind?  ... Well, my first idea was creating consciousness on breast cancer since I know people who  have been affected by these terrible disease, but now these Awareness bracelets are going and going to create awareness on many different situations.

     This one is the PURPLE RIBBON, which supports the idea to end Domestic Violence.  It is really shocking to find out how many cases happen everyday and probably we are forgetful about it.  Did you know that around 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States??  
     For this reason, my Awareness bracelet is to support the end of this daily tragedy in many homes and hopefully as I wear it, people will ask ... what does that friendship bracelet mean???? and that's how I will create the awareness needed.   
 

Thank you for your support!!

HORIZONTALS ... my newest design!

      My latest design is the HORIZONTALS design. I have decided to use the tradional PEACE colors to show my deepest condolescenses to all the families of 9/11.  In a day like today, let's embrace PEACE and let's keep in mind a quote from one of the greatest influences in music ...  "When the power of LOVE overcomes the love of POWER, the world will know PEACE" ~ Jimmy Hendrix

Sending you a lot of LOVE !

     I know it is not February yet, but hearts and love are always around.  It doesn't have to be a special occassion or a special day to let someone know how much we care or feel for them.  Whichever day or whatever moment, people are always there and our feelings as well ... so let's show our true special feelings and our sincere emotions for those in our lives.   

HEARTS design details:
~  Made of 10 embroidery threads
~  2 colors
~  Knotted bracelet:  4 3/4
 ~  Endings:  2 in. on each side

This HEART design has a "special" and "little" touch lol.  This heart has 3 colors:  Hearts have a black outline with a red fillings, plus little red horns on top.  White background to accent its special trait.  It is a special HEART for those little "devils" in our lives or for those crazy at heart!  So with a lot of <3 and a lot of hearts, I say bye until next time ...

This is the latest design!!

         Yes!! here it is the Double-Thread Diamonds design.  This one was born out of the previous design, Single-Thread Diamonds, just had to change the number of colors.  For this specific design, I decided to use 2 to 3 colors the most for the diamond pattern to stand out. 

It looks simple but likes to call the attention! ...

      Love how the pattern came out and now it gives me a chance to set a new fashion style, which will allow me to emphazise on colors only. 
       What does this mean? It means that this type of bracelet will allow you to show your favorite colors or the colors of your favorite team or even your school colors.  This kind of design allows for the spirit in of all us to be shown off!.  Therefore, I have a few school colors in mind so for the next time you will see a parade of colorful "school colors". 

     Let's keep the spirit of colors going!!

 

Fifty (50) ... the number of bracelets so far in my collection!!

      Finally I was able to complete my 50th friendship bracelet in my collection!!  (By the way, only my first 25 are on the website http://www.thecolorfulcollection.com/)

      These are the last 6 bracelets that I needed to finally place the second set of 25 friendship bracelets on my little website.  Hopefully it will not take long to upload and make the necessary changes with the web designer, who happens to be my sister hahahahahaha, but with her busy architectural project will see how long it takes for such a change to be in effect.

  
    Since I am done with number 50th, now I am considering in creating a different design! A design which has no name yet but it will be coming soon to your computer screen lol. 

     Well, let me concentrate on certain new ideas and refresh myself over the weekend. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy it to the max!!    

Would you wear more than one bracelet on your wrist?? ...

      Even though it is not June 21 to officially welcome the SUMMER, here in Miami it is summer already!! ... yeah, a lot of heat and sun!! 

      With that idea in mind, I am wondering if in the beautiful sunshine city of Miami, as well as, in other pretty hot cities... Would people wear many bracelets on their writsts?? 

 

       I do understand the stickyness of the humidity, but I do not think that is a reason not to wear more that one bracelet.  On the contrary, the summer season is the perfect time to show off those colors and styles on our writsts!!  (btw, these are my recent handmade bracelets).  For boys, girls, guys, gals, women or men, it is a way to make a fashion  statement during this heated summer... It is a youthful and happy fashion statement!

      Thus, if you are in to wear many and many bracelets, your hands would be embellished by these colorful bracelets wherever you go!!   Let's all join this little movement that no matter how hot or cold it gets, our colorful fashion statement shines in the rain or in the sun!!

                 Have a great sunday and a colorful week!!

Colorful combinations!

How colorful can they get?  These designs cannot get any more colorful, the colors bring out their patterns, that means ... bright colors are in for the coming summer!!  

But, not always, bright colors are the favorites! ... these low-accent colors and pastel colors give a relaxing   spring time spirt!!   

No matter which colors are in or which season we enjoy, there are always a variety of colors for any occasion. Therefore, just enjoy life: its colors and its moments!!
