Jeri started with a plain leather strap for this adorable "Ivy" strap, dyed it bright pink, painted it black, then hand beveled the edges to create a pink frame around the black strap. The entire strap was then embellished with double layered kidskin ivy and flowers, which were glued down, then securely sewn to the strap. We added hand-cut kidskin double layer lettering and finished the strap off with nickel silver nailheads and genuine Swarovski crystals. STUNNING piece of work!
