It is hard to believe that I have been designing under "Bourne Elements Design" since July 2010.  As I sit here today I look back at when I started designing bracelets with adding tiny seed beads to brass fishing hook connector swivels.  Every one wanted them.

Then I started making macrame bracelets out of embroidery thread, adding handmade beads I made in my high school ceramics class, which was my hippy era.  I embroidered colorful flowers and paisleys on my pocket trim and edges of my bell bottom jeans.


Growing up in Southern Cali. it was always summer and flowers everywhere.  We made flower headbands from the dandelions in the grass fields.  

We went horseback riding on the weekends, ditched school to go to the beach and walked everywhere in leather sandals and had to use a pay phone to call someone. Oh those were the days.

I have been trying to balance my new job and my Jewelry. It has been difficult. I learned yesterday that my new job has to cut my position, so maybe it is time to get busy designing. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BourneElementsDesign.   I now sell on Etsy..... Looking into the possibility to sell on Amazon.I posted some of my recent pieces below.....If you see something you like or want a new design... contact me I will make you a great deal!
