My friend Gary, who is a photographer, web designer, creative and all round good bloke lives in Canada. He came over to the UK and called in to see me for a catch up on photography etc. He brought a gift for me, which I was not expecting, and when I opened it it was these handsome camera cuff links. As I wear cuff links every day, this was a great gift. What a thoughtful gesture.
Gary has done some excellent design work for me (for my day job), and even though he lives in Canada, it has all happened by email and has been very successful.

step 24: make closures for the wrist
i sewed a pair of buttons on my claws, with short elastic loops on the other side (this makes them adjustable if i have no shirt underneath, or a bulky sweatshirt to button them over). for my boyfriend's claws, he wanted velcro instead - your choice - and his hand loop is made out of red fleece instead of elastic.
either way, using a loop over the palm of your hand instead of wearing claw mittens means you can pick up food or drinks with your hand instead of a clumsy glove. and also either way, you'll need a button or hook to attach the length of yarn from the attached legs to your claws.
I'm keeping my "research" for the OYA traditions of Turkish Crochet... but so far, the time runs away, and I can only manage to make some experiments. In this kind of artistry, the colours always had a significance. Like, if a spouse would wear a red necklace, that would mean she was upset with her husband... if it was a yellowish tone, happiness was certain.
I find that art can live inside our outfits. What one chooses to wear could mean a lot, and bring meaning to another lot of things. I also don't believe one should be slave to looks, or trends, or brands. That's all too shallow! But I love to look at a person and "read" a message on her way of dressing.
I hope I can discover more on this OYA crochet... it really inspires me.
Have a nice weekend!

A wire cuff sure to make a bold statement. A large green silver foil square focal is surrounded by a mixture of green, blue, silver and silver wired beads. Two blue enamel butterflys complete the mix and add that extra bit of interest.

This cuff came about when I was playing with geometric shapes in my bead program and this was the result. With the greens and golds, it really reminded me of a Greco Roman pattern.
Exploring Non-Traditional Knitting Materials
Cuff Made with 1mm Cotton Thong Cord
Initial Notes available here: makedoandmendnovice.blogspot.com/2015/08/knitting-with-no...
My experiments with non-traditional materials are based on my Nameless Choker pattern, which is available here: makedoandmendnovice.blogspot.com/2014/09/free-pattern-nam...
i made this cuff for the challenge in Philippine Polymer Clay Guild:) The Theme was called the Pinoy Challenge. You have to use indigenous materials in your clay project. I used sinamay, fabric made from banana plant fibers which you can find in abundance in the Philippines. It is a very nice alternative to using metal cuffs as a base. It can withstand the temp of the oven. I even baked it twice and it didn't become brittle. It supported the weight of the clay because I also put clay at the back as a support:) i really enjoyed making this one!

Another one of my Power Cuff series...Mother Nature evokes the nurturing power of the green Earth. The focal is an oval Serpentine bead surrounded by glowing green seed beads, lemon olive jade beads and round serpentine beads. The bracelet is woven using the cubic right andgle weave technique. The closure is a sterling silver magnet enclosed in beads.
The cuff measures approximately 6 and 3/4 inches (17cm) long.
The bracelet is greener in real life. The photos do not look as vivid as the real thing!
