New Cuff Begun

posted: Tuesday, 28 August 2007

Straight on with my new cuff today. Although it's only a very early work in progress, it's already been through some changes.
I wanted to do this new one in blues, then of course wanted to add in some of my favourite turquoises and teals.

Then I remembered some great square beads I had in my stash so wanted to add a couple of them. Of course, once I got the beads out I decided I wanted to use lots of them! Next, once I'd glued them onto the backing I decided to maybe add in some brown...

So here you can see where I've got to so far. I'm experimenting with the colour combinations I want to use to stitch around the beads and although I started this last night I decided to leave it until i could see it properly in day-light to make my final decision. Watch this space over the next few weeks to see what I've decided- or if it changes again!

Received my copy of the new Bead and Button magazine today, which includes a Bead Dreams supplement. It was great to see my bracelet in there and get a chance to see all the winners. As always there's some amazing work in there. Someone kindly sent me this link today (or here to take you direct to my bracelet) where you can see my bracelet on the Bead and Button website (thank you Jennifer!)
