Well, here it is! The man's bracelet.
It's made of iron rebar wire (hardware store) and braided copper wire. The smaller, shiny copper one is mine. I made it a good while ago, back when I'd never heard of Liver of Sulfer! The bigger one is cold LOS'd to give it a darker bronze color. Which finish do you prefer for a man's style? Shiny or bronzy? I kinda thought a man might like it better dark, but I really can't decide! Help! I would also like to know what sizes to make for men. I searched around, and some sites say a man's wrist size is 7", others say 7&3/4". This one is for a 7&1/2-8" wrist, though I guess a 7" could wear it, too! I guess I can just make a couple different sizes of whatever I come up with. I'm working out the design for another one now.Ya'll have a great weekend!

Tammy,
These are striking. Simple with detail. I vote for the darker metal for men, but personal preference can change that.
It looks like everything you make is great! And so many different styles. I LOVE that. I never get bored looking at your work. I bet you never get bored either!
Have a great Saturday.
Tammy....these are wonderful. What gave you the idea to use rebar? I would like to try some. Is it difficult to work with?
I really think these are great. And, I believe you are right about the darker color. That is my vote. But, saying that, I have come to find out thu experience, that you never, never know what another person will like.
God bless~
