Special Edelweiss Bracelet - Part ONE

Last year right about this time I did a blog post featuring some vintage dried flowers I placed in this open back bezel. The little bauble has been on my studio table for a while because I really wanted to do something special with it.

Then I located this unfinished bracelet.....my bauble fit perfectly!

It took me almost a year to locate two more matching open back bezels. I taped one side and poured in a very thin layer of resin. By letting a resin layer cure before I add flowers, I create a sold glass-like base for the project.

Earlier this spring, I found this vintage postcard from Austria featuring dried Edelweiss. This is one of my favourite flowers since I am half Austrian!
