Transform your wardrobe. Have fun, save that cash for something else.....

This is two of the elegant and very classic Leather Rose belts at Mano Bello, from the Flowers Collection.....Morphed into Couture goddess level funkiness....wrapped and worn as a harness, ascot or bib. A really feminine fashion restraint!

 Here again...the same two belts, wrapped & layered, coiled around as a lush bib, or decadent necklace edging it's way towards "scarf".

Love......not war! 

A morphed bandolier. Much better to arm yourself with roses.....

A single belt wrapped into an edgy halter......Any of these would carry any plain button down shirt, tee or fitted wool blazer to heights teetering on haute!

I am going to ask the StyleBubble girl to a friendly challenge of "styling with accessories"....let's see if she responds!

Mano Bello designs now in limited production

Here in fabulous and luxurious goatskin. Unmatchable softness and texture. Rare in red. I have found that finding the right skins for the "Flowers Collection" is a difficult and time consuming task. Going overseas is a must for quality and color. I am getting ready to incorporate a "Volume" for limited productions of my leather wrap obi belts as a result. Each belt will be numbered and available in limited quantities.

Handpicked Treasuries with Mano Bello

Until I figure out why I can't upload photos to my blog right now.....I will at least provide some entertainment for your eyes by providing links to colorful "Treasuries" featured on Etsy. These are handpicked items researched and chosen by designers with a theme...usually a color theme. It's a nice way to see some beautiful creations from a handful of designers at one time. Also an honor to be one of the chosen!

Enjoy the view!

Wish it were a vacation!

I don't consider myself a "techie" and I often go to my 14 year old son for help with my computer glitches. Being on online retailer and that being my only "store" rather than a physical one in the dimension where gravity exists, I HAVE to learn techie stuff in order to operate.
Keeps me young, so I've heard....learning, that is.
I can change my printer.....no problem. Can someone explain to me how in the process of installing my new printer, I blew out my router? It was a perfectly operating router before my new printer install. It was even one of those super duper powerful & expensive ones. It did not like the printer, I guess!
Anyway...2 weeks ensued with shipping delays on the new router...and I had no internet except when I could convince my son to let me share his computer so I could continue to place food on the table.
Unfortunately, my blogging took the fall along with the router......
In the mean time, I had a lot more time to work on designs and came up with my Leather Flower Obi belts.
Trouble is, I like them so much, I don't want to sell them!   Where to see obi belts

Coming up roses!

 New design

Sometimes while deep into the creative process of a certain line, the re making of various repeat items will sometimes evolve into a new idea, which becomes the next design.

Such happened here while carefully sculpting and stitching leather roses and flowers into various wrist cuffs, brooches and rings, it came to me that a few different cuts with my scissors could provide a whole different look to these blooms. Pleased with the results, a new line is born.

I love leather and I love flowers.

It's always a great day when new designs rise out of scraps & pieces, or some textile just won't go ignored. So often, the ideas come from the fabric itself, as if it knows what it wants to be.........or 1 idea becomes another in the process. I love the fluidity of this place, where design meets creation....

Most popular purse is a clutch!

I designed this bag for myself. I am a long time "shoulder bag" wearer....the bigger, the better.

I wanted something smaller for those runs to the store, or for when I'm going to the barn for a ride on my horse and I don't need all of my tech-y stuff or all of my makeup, or that book to read while I wait for whatever......just something for my wallet, chapstick, keys, list and sunglasses for a trip out and back.

I can just grab this bag, tuck it under my arm, or hold it with 1 hand.....

These have been flying out of the shop to my delight & surprise. It seems I am spending all of my time right now trying to make more of these instead of working on more designs.
Being a creative being, the monotony of simulating the same thing over and over again can be just that....monotony. Pacing myself is something I need to conform to...allowing time for production AND for creating. After all, I am creating products so that I can sell them and support my family.
So...be forewarned.....if you would like to be on the list for one of these soft leather bags....there may be a slight wait of 1-2 weeks.
