This is my very first bead embroidered cuff, which you may have already seen in a few of my recent My Creative Space posts...
...but this time...finally finished!
...but this time...finally finished!
Please click on images for more detailed view of the beadwork
I have used an Eagle Eye Agate cabochon as the centre piece and then some gorgeous
Desert Picture Jasper tear drop and oval cabs adorned with a mixture of seed beads, cube beads, delicas, Czech glass beads and wooden beads.
I wore it on the weekend and it was so comfy to wear... the deer leather I backed it with is super soft.
I can't wait to make another cuff and as mentioned in a previous post, I've already purchased the cabs!
If you love bead embroidery haven't already treated yourself to a copy of Sherry Serafini's new book "Sensational Bead Embroidery" then I suggest you do so.
This book is full of bead embroidered eye candy and definitely an inspiration.
Thanks Sherry!
I hope I have done your book justice...

Wow! That cuff is spectacular!! I picked up that book a few months ago and you have inspired me to dive in!
Thanks Amy - it's an honour to be inspiring you as Sherry has inspired me. I can't wait to see what you create ♥
Congratulations on a job well done! You're going to love wearing it as much as you enjoyed creating it! Well done!!
Genial!!!!
It leaves me speechless! Just absolutely stunning, such a lot of detail and work, a true piece of art.
Beautiful!
Wow, Great job. I hope my first cuff comes out half as gorgeous as that. I've been trying to work up the courage to do one for about 2 years now. Thanks for the inspiration.-Debbie
Gorgeous! The combination of the stones is just yummy, and your embroidery makes them spectacular. Congratulations on a great job.

I have just found your blog and I love your work!! If that is your first bead embroidereed cuff I must say that you are off to a fabulous start!! I also love Sherri's book!!! I make found object beaded cuffs and I teach the technique as well. I use a brass form and then encase it in suede and the beaded portion covers the top. It is always such fun to see what my students create. they often amaze themselves!!!
I saw the cabs that you have recently purchased and I would love to know the name of the shop. I am having alot of trouble finding unusual good quality work to use as focal points!!
I would love to have you visit my blog when you get a chance and I am also on Face Book!
Best!

Thank you everyone for the lovely and encouraging comments.
I have to admit I was surprised at how well the cuff came together but more importantly how easy it was.
I had put off creating a cuff for years and finally worked up the courage to try one and now I have no idea what I was afraid of!
Elizabeth - here is a link to the Etsy store for the cabs I have recently bought... can't wait to get them!
