Handlettered Etched Metal Bracelets with Leopardskin Jasper Beads

Etched bracelets

I have been obsessed with making these bracelets. A few months ago, I asked on FB what you would like to see etched onto the Jitney's handlettered beaded bracelets. Here's what I have so far!

Each metal piece is meticulously etched with a word or short phrase then finished off with leopardskin jasper beaded sides. These will be out for sale at the Advent Market on December 6th. 

In all honesty, the beaded part is what takes so long. I'm thinking about making a more simple version of the bracelet (without the beads) but still have the handlettering with maybe a simple leather band(s) on each side. Or maybe even no leather or beads, just a simple chain with the metal piece. What do you think?

Jitney's Journeys : Jeremiah 17:7-8 Custom Barnwood Piece

My friend Judy was at it again with another brilliant idea. (I should really make a "tag" for her so you can see all of the artwork we've collaborated on.) Her husband's birthday was coming up and she wanted to give him a custom piece featuring Jeremiah 17:7-8 with a tree of some sort and maybe a river running across it somehow. I'm not sure if this is what she had in mind originally but I ended up creating the artwork on barnwood with a typography mixture of my handlettering with a clean, sans serif font. I fell in LOVE with it and I'm hoping they did too! 

As always, I'm deeply encouraged by the scripture I have the blessing of working with. There is beautiful hope and pure Truth in these verses. Oh, I just love it.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
— Jeremiah 17:7-8
