Hi all, and welcome to my reveal post for Peggy's acrylic links challenge !
This was a very interesting challenge for me, mostly because of the limits I held myself to. First, I wanted to do what I do best - use something in ways that they aren't meant to be used. ;) So I did not want to use the links as a chain.
Second was that I wanted them to be recognizable as Peggy's links - this meant no coloring, or altering them too much. The mixed media juggernaut in me cried, but it had to be done.
So I stared playing with the links. Stacking them. Flipping them. Even daring to link or two. Then, finally...
I saw a flower.

And therefore, this bracelet was born. :>
