24kt Gold & Opal Cuff
Woven on the thick warps, in ways to allow each style of bead to 'inter lock', creating a mesh of BLING! This is truly "Weaving Along The Warps". The way each bead fit, into another, by the selections I made, allowed for a wonderful body, to this cuff. Included are 24kt overlay gold glass beads, permanent gold glass beads, Glacier Opal Crystals and highlighted with Pacific Opals. |

The width was able to handle a double clasp attachment, which I applied a Gilt to patina a matching color. The relief, on the clasp surface, also lent itself to match the cuff design.

A Field of Erin's Poppies!
I think this may actually be my favorite, of all I ever made! A great color of red, off white and turquoise. |
The turquoise border was added, offering a totally different color than what is originally offered, in the cuff.
I love these three colors together.
|
A wide filigree box clasp, finishes this trio of colors.

I love Hummingbirds, but they are very hard to catch on film.
Thus is the same, with my loom pattern.

|
Their wings are in constant movement. This is something I truly wanted to portray, in my pattern. As a photography major, back in the day, the 'shutter speed' was set hoping to stop motion, like the wings of a Hummingbird. I've laughed, with family, that I better double check the settings, in my pattern program. |

The netting was attached 'on top', of the bead woven cuff base. All connecting points are secured so the netting does not lift. I also added a green patina to the finish of the clasp.

Bead loom woven with 11/0 Delicas and a relief of Silver Scrolling of 11/0 Permanent Silver metallic Japanese beads. You can see the relief, of the mixed size beads, at the curve, towards the back edge, of the cuff. Super Duos create a decorative fringe.
