My first introduction to the crafting world was by way of needle and thread. That is probably the case with most of us I would imagine. Besides needle work like embroidery and cross stitch, I also tried sewing.

I had a heck of a time learning to sew until I finally managed to hook up with a wonderful teacher slash friend in college who helped me finally learn the tricks of the trade. Fiber is still a favorite art medium of mine, so I flipped when I saw these woven bracelets, chokers, even dog collars by jewelry designer Carolina Bucci.

With a long family history in the jewelry world, Bucci's roots are obviously what guided her into the business, but when you look her various collections on line you'll see that she has made her own voice heard in the jewelry design world.

Here are just a few pieces from her woven collection. It was really hard to pick just a few though!
