I've been working on this cuff for the past few weeks and finally it's starting to take form.
I've used an Eagle Eye Agate cabochon as the centre piece and then some gorgeous
Desert Picture Jasper tear drop and oval cabs.
These cabs have such an earthy, dare I say, organic feel to them.
I've used an assortment of seed beads including cube beads, delicas and wooden beads as well as some gorgeous tigers eye czech beads.
The decision I have to make now is whether to attach the piece to a metal cuff base or keep it as a softer bracelet style cuff.
This is my first attempt at a beaded cuff so not sure what the better option is but am leaning towards a softer cuff ...for the time being...until I play around with some cuff bases.
Don't you love the way the sparkle of the beads showed up in this out of focus shot I took...

What a lovely combination!! Gorgeous work - and I love your color choices. I recommend the metal cuff blanks ONLY because they last longer than just the material alone - so your piece will be able to withstand years and years and years. On the other hand, if you are making it for a much smaller wristed person, you may want to stick with the material, as the cuffs don't normally fit very small wrists. :) Love it!!
It is all looking fantastic care...such YOU colours!!! :)
I havent been brave enough to try a cuff yet...perhaps your efforts will inspire me!
So GORGEOUS! Can't wait to see the final project!
Oooh, it looks stunning!!! Love the color combo! Can't wait to see it ready! ;)
