The maple tree is a crowd-pleaser in autumn, with its leaves in glorious hues. My “thread sculpture” method was used to stitch everything you see in this bracelet. The leaves are a variety of yellow, orange, red, and russet, using cotton threads; the veins are stitched gold metallic threads. It has a self-closure: fold the “key” and tuck it through a gap between two leaves. Length is 8 inches. Sturdy!
