I happened upon some strips of a suede at the local Goodwill, one of my favorite places to shop according to my eldest grandson. I purchased a fairly good size bag full of several colors. I had a free form piece of denim/lace/antique brass studs applique I've been hoarding back for a while. I cut a double strip of suede to fit my arm, then sewed both pieces together with the applique on top. I cut around the applique leaving a bit of a suede edge and free form cut the ends and sewed around the edge. Couldn't leave well enough alone so I decided to encrust the piece with bits and pieces of things including buttons, broken "coins:, beads, broken jewelry, polyclay faces, charms, etc. I added a patina colored rub'n'buff wax to some of the metal pieces to age them a bit. Now it's just a decision as to where and when to wear it.
