Hi Everyone.
This is a new idea I though of but i'm not sure if it will work. I've used my little one as an example here, photo should have been black and white but came to me as colour. I think black and white would work better. Any comments will be great!

Looks beautiful and I think it looks really good in colors since the background of the photo seems to be the same kind of color as some of the pearls.
Very cool idea.

Thats a really nice idea, I like the colour photo too. It blends in well with the bracelet.
I'm going to mention your beautiful bracelets to my hubbie just in case he hasn't bought any think for Valentines;)

Have shown hubbie and he has asked me to bookmark it.:D That is a good sign.
I agree with everyone about the colours.
I think black and white would work well with blacks/greys/silvers, but I like the way the colours all match.
Fab idea ... get in touch with Craft Caboodle >>>>>>>> (ad on right)

Thankyou girls for your lovely encouraging comments.
JBJB I will contact them, I did do a piece last year for them as well. Not sure if it was just competition entry though!

I was thinking about this lovely bracelet today! ;) I remembered the bookmarks you had on your stall at the Christmas fair.
Not sure whether it was your side? Or your cousins? But they would be a great gift idea for grandparents/relatives.

Thanks for that Sam, It was me who made the bookmarks. I had thought of it but the polymer clay pendant/charm costs me about £5 - £7 so I'd have to charge around £12 once i've added a few beads etc if I sold them.
I've put the bracelet on ebay at £19.99 and said I can get any picture for any occassion, pets etc but so far not had that many viewings.
I get the charm made up from a lady in USA once i've emailed the pic to her as I don't know of anybody here, that could cut down some cost I guess.
Hope things are going well with your sales, my other bracelets seem to be doing well at the moment.
Best Wishes and thankyou for thinking up your clever ideas for me. Keep them coming.

Very lovely.
You could have the whole family on a charm bracelet. Maybe vintage versions with old photos of relatives, combined with antique beads etc.

Glad your doing well with your bracelets, they are lovely ;)
I contacted the lady about Kings Bromley, but it's when I'm on holiday, so can't make that one.
But if you can think of any others that might be good for textiles/me can you pm me some details.
Thanks so much.

I think it's a lovely idea, and will be popular.
I have one suggestion.... do you think the photo frame will pull the bracelet around your wrist with it's weight? If so it might be better locating it near to the catch.
Good luck with it :)
