Etsy Inspiration: Feeling Blue

With the emphasis on blue this month, I created two treasuries to show some options to consider for your creations this month. Can we get to 200 bracelets? Will there be that many submissions for the end of the month blog tour? Whew! That is a lot but I am up to the challenge if you are! So get crackin' with these bluesy treasuries as your guide.

First up... supplies: beads, cord, ribbon, clasps. All with a blue and harlequin twist.
