Swedish bracelet

 On Saturday I participated in a bracelet making session. It is in the style of a Sami traditional crafted bracelet. It is made of tin wires, reindeer leather and reindeer antler crafted button. Very cuddly to make especially with a broken arm. I worked slowly and my arm was aching at the end. Hope I haven’t done further damage. The class was run by a Swedish woman , Annette who gave us some information on the Sami people of Sweden, Norway and Finland the indigenous peoples of these areas. They were mostly reindeer herders. It was really interesting and very rewarding when such a beautiful bracelet came together.
