This bead loomed cuff was inspired by the story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men", one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories.
(My cuff can NOT be translated, though ;-))
This is the very first wrist cuff I've ever made. Kind of experimental, I guess.
All materials, except the thread/embroidery floss, and the crochet lace, were salvaged or comes from salvaged materials (button, from Nurtured Earth on Etsy).
It's made of two old trousers of Chris', the hem of one of my trousers, the lining comes from a vintage dress of my MIL's, the elastic cord was salvaged on a bag.
I hand embroidered an aster & a Marasmius Oreades. (mushroom)
It measures almost 19cm (without the loop) x 05,50cm, which makes it a little too loose for small/tight wrists.
My wrist is 16cm & it is a tiny bit too loose to my liking.
I don't know what to do. Listing it to the shop or not ?
What do you think ?

This Cuff is what has been holding me up for 1 ½ years now (and doing my head in really). It is a commission by my best friend for her daughter's 30th birthday (that was in January 2007) as a special gift.
She is someone who loves: water, sailing, nature, outdoors and simple (tight) jewellery.
The initial idea: Sepia, representing: waves, natural form, sea born, tight and simple.
Problems occurred. It kept breaking. All try’s to solve it proved in vain so far –(did I encountered the limits of art clay..)
First time: after burning, then bending 2 cracks appeared . Stretch, solder a silver rim around it for strength (sterling 925)and shape it again: it broke in 9 places this time (the idea of the rim worked so far as it keep all the pieces in place. Then I tried sweat soldering a preformed plate to the back - it wouldn't fix properly. Tried to solve that with oil paste clay forcing it in between the gaps but with no –acceptable - result.
Ok, been there learned that, cut my loss and back to the drawing board.
Casting is the next I tried with results so pour (severe imprint loss and a ruined kitchen floor) so I dismissed that after 3 go’s.
Next try: Clay again, I figurered out a way to take it out of the Sepia mould without damage , bend the clay while wet around my mandrel. Ok that seemed to work, except for my mandrill - the wet clay reacted with the metal, eat in to it and damaging the surface 1mm deep – a reminder for life I guess). All seemed to go well from there (Photo 2nd try). Hand finished every other segment high gloss.OK ready, next delivery date was set at 30 Dec. 07. Bu then boxing day before that all went wrong – I was showing of I guess - the cuff broke again while being tried on a bigger wrist. Oh no then it broke again. The true damage was revealed on the braking surface – all the missing metal of my mandrill was found, sitting right in the centre of the silver as a rusty band.
Back to square 1, I tried very hard to sort it out but…no delivery this year, I had a piece of silver that is contaminated at the core, until that is out it will ruin any pickle and look bad every time it comes out of a pickle. I heated it and it over boiling it in pickle ten times (fresh pickle every time) to get rid of the Iron or steel contamination, got that solved now but still struggling to sort it. Next plan is to make hinges. I’ve cut it into pieces now. Ready for that but ue ti the curve on the surface nor yet to satisfaction. I just hate giving up things that I know should work.
If anyone is looking at thes photos, reading this process and have a suggestion on how to solve it. I’m very eager to hear and learn from you – I’m so stuck and can’t seem to be able not work further until this one is solved- April 08 now and still working in it – It feels like a writer’s block
Just finished this custom cuff for Cindy. Her father left her the stones, and because he was a forester, I thought adding the copper leaves would really be appropriate and would show off the colors in the stone.

First added the pink and then the orange stitches, then went back to this blue that I thought went well, had a retro feel to it.
Available.
Etched and hand-painted copper cuff; one of series of copper pieces made to investigate the use of colouring media on metal.
The term “Renaissance” means “rebirth” and it was an important time of social and cultural change. The Renaissance itself, between the early 17th to late 19th century, spread throughout Europe like wildfire. New continents were discovered and along with them came the expansion of trade, increase in wealth and access to beautiful and rare materials and gemstones.
It was the age of patronage of wealthy noblemen and powerful families to arts, music, philosophy, sciences, poetry and architecture.
To show off their wealth, items of jewellery were especially prized; ornate and highly decorated with the rarest of gemstones. Many pieces featured large stones, with other jewels set around them. Some of the wealthy even wore rings set with gems on all five fingers.
The Renaissance Cuff is emblematic of the jewels of the era. A central sparkling crystal is surrounded by a ring of smaller glittering firepolished beads. The bracelet strap features more gem-like stones and luscious pearls woven into a complex design.
The flexible Prismatic and Cubic right angle weave is the mainstay of the cuff. This fine example of jewels of the Renaissance wraps itself around your wrist bringing you back to the bygone era of power, intrigue, mystery and jewels.

Have you ever seen oil on the ground after a rainy day? The metallic colors reflect up at you like a rainbow trapped on the ground. This image has always stuck in my head. So I decided to set it free. This cuff is embodiment of a rainbow caught in motion. The colors circle out from the pearls and stones radiating the many hues of the world around it. The soft organic fluid line of gold cuts through the rings of color casting it’s own influence on the piece. It then connects at the back of the cuff to create the illusion of a continuous line.
This hand embroidery cuff designed itself. I purchased 30 Flat Bottom Glass Gem Wafers from GamiAndGlass. I wanted to adventure into handmade cabochons. And I have to say, I love what has come out of it. This one focuses on the colors and curvature of the design behind the glass blank. I mixed the colors of the illustrated image with the patterns and techniques of Russian beadwork.
This piece is roughly 2 inches wide at the center where the cabochon is located. On both side the pattern expands out a bit further. On the side with the orange rings it is about 2.25 inches. On the side with the green it is about 2.25 inches. This cuff uses a durable brass cuff blank for it’s support structure. It can be bent to fit any size wrist.
the fake fur collar was removed the Lynx fur collar and cuffs are detachable, so they can be used on another coat

In working Kevin's socks (puzzle yarn socks before this pic), I found I really did not like the heel. I was losing stitches in the heel turn, no clue how or where they went, they were just gone.
So those (again) were set to the side. I pulled out some yarn (I didn't realize I already used this yarn in my first pair of toe-up socks!) and decided to try out cuff-down for the first time. Though, I would prefer a heel that is more mitered looking, I like this method so much better. This sock knit up in on/off three days worth of knitting. Granted, I like the lower leg on my own socks, so that helped timewise, it was still a whole lot faster! Plus, my knitting has improved tremendously.
My goal is to do a pair of socks a month. I have read several blogs where others have this same goal too. We'll see how long this lasts for me! :-)
At this point, I am seriously considering ripping out the socks I am working on for Kev and starting over. Though, I do have a lot of puzzle yarn, so I really don't have to rip now. I just hate the thought of the time I did put into it--being gone in one fell swoop however.
For this design I used an image of the Lascaux cave paintings that I changed a little to better fit the bead loomed cuff
.
The dangle is a piece of shell that looks like a tooth, I put a wire crochet "cap" with Swarovski bicones in matching colors on it.
This is a peyote stitched bracelet, using Miyuki Delica beads, sewn around a cuff form; black fabric lines the other side.
The peyote stitch is great for creating geometric patterns like this.
