Busy Week

I started my cuff last week.  You know the one I teased you with by talking about it in the blog Work In Progress.  It was toward the bottom of the article.  Well, I finished it tonight.  I worked on it while we were waiting to see the doctor in San Antonio and all week long.  I kept having to take it out for one reason or another.  I will be glad when these cuffs become second nature to me like it is with some of you other EBW members.  I even designed the toggles to match the bracelet theme.  I will be listing this in my Etsy shop tomorrow, I think.  I can be really proud of this cuff because I designed it as well as beaded it.  I hope you all like it.  I used Translucent Amethyst and Silver Lined Pink to work up this creation. 

Drum Roll Please!  Let me present Mirrored Images Cuff

GMB0057 Mirrored Images Cuff - curled - small

GMB0057 Mirrored Images Cuff - draped - small

GMB0057 Mirrored Images Cuff - Toggles - upright - small

I had thought about putting something in the center of the cuff but then decided against it.  I liked  the simplicity of it.  This cuff measures about 2 1/2 inches by 8 inches so will fit someone between a size 7-7 1/2 inch wrist if I understand how the cuffs work. Tomorrow, I will start work on a cuff that I created with the new challenge, Complementary Contradictions, in mind.  I am not sure if I will use this cuff or a pendant and spiral rope that also created with this challenge in mind.  I will wait until I get them both done to decide which one I want to enter.  I have beads ordered so that I can complete them both on time, I hope.  I am going to try these in Delicas to see if they are any easier to work with.

    Beautiful job! You should be proud of yourself. I’ve never designed one of these flat peyote cuffs, but everyone is sure tempting me to give it a whirl. Those beads have a lovely luster and the toggles are the perfect finishing touch.
