AOR379C is a Bedford VAL14 / Plaxton C52F new in April
1965 to Glider & Blue, Bishops Waltham . It was acquired by Derek James , Sherston in December 1972 , in a brown and cream livery. He later painted it dark blue with a cream roof , and it retained this livery with Ray Cuff after he acquired it in January 1976 , until withdrawn at the end of 1980 , albeit with most of the offside panels replaced and unpainted for some years.
AOR379C is pictured at the bus stop on Church Bridge , Bruton , with the destination boxes showing "Shepton Mallet , Bruton , Evercreech". The door is manually operated which is not ideal for one man bus operation.
Ray Cuff's next bus in 1981 was NUF438G a Bristol RELL6G / Marshall B53F , new in 1969 to Southdown , the first of several REs , both owned and borrowed.
Hand knitted cuff, embellished with coral lace, Swarovski Padparadscha bicones, sequins and seed beads...
This thin bracelet only has the illusion of delicate lacy-ness (the decorative portion is "cut out" and see through)...because it's made with Kato, it is super strong...
Edited to add...I wore this bracelet today, and was wondering how 'wearable' it would be with it's "crown", lol. It never really got in the way although I did smack it a few times right on the top, thinnest portion...but it held up! I was really pleased....again, it's that tough Kato clay!
Jewellery was a big part of Elizabethan Tudor fashion, especially for those who were rich and important. It showed both their wealth and status. Jewellery was also used to convey political messages, display religious beliefs and to remind people of friends and relatives who have died. Jewellery in Tudor times was not widespread and is essentially worn by the upper classes and those who could afford such finery.
Tudor bracelets tended to be made out of silver or gold and decorated with precious stones. Strands of pearls could also be wrapped around the wrist. The Elizabethan cuff is reminiscent of bracelets of the era. A wide cuff - elaborate, luxurious and intricately woven. A central panel of bezelled large beads form a bold focal point to the cuff. Eminently suited to the delicate wrists of the Elizabethan Tudor lady of the upper classes.

You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, just let me go
Another bead embroidered cuff. This time with cabs made of a red mokume gane, combined with seedbeads in different shades of red.
***UPDATE*** Shop update will be bumped until tomorrow at noon. Sorry guys! I'm only just finished editing half of my product shots. Never thought it was going to take that long! Thank you so much for your patience. I promise it will be worth the wait :-)
This cuff is made of multiple layers of plaid ribbon and a vintage kitschy porcelain cameo. There are also red satin rosebuds, swarowski crystals and a red tassel. It has a copper lobster clasp.

This lovely affirmation cuff is a gentle reminder to believe in you... your dreams... your strength... your faerys ;) Chocolatey brown and warm pink are a beautiful combination...
This cuff is adorned with vintage chandelier crystals, buttons, a snippet of an old crocheted doily and a darling faery charm...
A friend of my husband made this for me. Came from the Middle Eastern region of the world. I have had it for years, but too afraid to wear and loose it.
Do the #crime and you'll be wearing bracelets.
1:1 macro of the keyhole and ratchet of an old Peerless gunmetal blue handcuff.
First thought for Macro Mondays "crime" theme before changing my mind.
Strobist:
Two Canon 430EX RT strobes, one low at camera left and one at camera right.
This deliciously rich brown, funky, elegant cuff was bead-embroidered around a beautiful Swarovski Topaz Rivoli surrounded by Bronze-lined Crystal, Matte Bronze Japanese seed beads and Deep Brown Swarovski pearls. The centrepiece is attached to the Ultrasuede-covered brass cuff which is trimmed and embellished with the Japanese seed beads.
The centre piece measures 2” by 2” (c. 5 x 5 cm), the cuff itself is 1 ¼” (c. 3 cm) wide and fits all sizes.
This cuff is over 1.25" wide and has a lattice pattern in palladium plated Delicas on a background of deep red/plum.
A friend suggested I line these cuffs with something more interesting on the inside-- great suggestion! Only the wearer knows, the stripes are completely hidden when the cuff is being warn. Like your own little secret bling! Polymer clay, two patterns of mokume gane, aluminum core.
Someone challenged the members of a photography forum I frequent to shoot with a prime lens. He said he needed some inspiration because the convenience of zooms had left him lazy to the point that he rarely took his primes out of the camera bag.
For the most part, I agree that zooms are convenient. Nowadays, the image quality from a good zoom is good enough for the work that I do on a day-to-day basis. Personally, I don't think ithat's a bad thing. However, prime lenses certainly have their advantages.
1) They usually have a larger maximum aperture than a zoom that encompases the same focal range.
2) Their image quality does not get compromised by the additional lens elements and components needed to make zoom lenses work.
3) They're more economical than zoom lenses.
The only real drawback of a prime lens is that it limits flexibility in shooting--and that's the biggest reason I don't my primes as much as my zooms.
So when do I use primes the most? Macro work. Primes do not suffer from "lens creep" that can cause havoc when trying to lock down every aspect and variable of the shoot.
So, to make a long story short, I shot some macro work this evening. ;-)
strobist: 1 Nikon SB-24 and 1 Quantaray shoe-mount flash, camera left and right, diffused by a sheet of paper (insurance form, I believe). I also held up a white foam board above the cuff links in order to get a nice reflection on them. Flashes triggered via Cybersyncs.
Note: I cut a hole in the middle of the piece of paper and fit it over my lens. This allowed me to shoot into a very reflective surface (the window of my microwave) while still maintaining an interesting background. The hole for the lens was positioned so that it was directly behind the cuff links, thereby setting them apart from the background. Kenko extension tubes were used for the shot. Setup shot here.
Hand sewn, hand beaded lace cuff, vintage lace, Swarovski bicones, brass filigrees, beads and sequins.

The centre piece measures 2” by 2” (c. 5 x 5 cm), the cuff itself is 1 ¼” (c. 3 cm) wide and fits all sizes.
