Red Flower Bangle

My newest floral bangle/bracelet with a large flower in the deep burgundy red satin fabric that I have come to love.

 This red hue is so rich and deep that the colour surprises me with it's intensity every time.

I sewed what seemed to me to be innumerable black lustrous glass beads in the middle of the flower to make a big black centre with a delicate shine.

It can be worn low on the wrist or higher up on the arm as a cuff.

If worn low on the wrist, it can fit the wrist exactly, so that it gently hugs the wrist and stays where you choose (but doesn't restrict the wrist or the circulation of blood) or in a larger size, as a bangle that moves around freely).

Just in time for Christmas!

Red Poppy Bangle

This is my very latest: a red poppy flower bangle.

Twin, petite, fabric poppy flowers with lustrous black glass bead centres on a heavy duty elastic cord.

I made this bangle specificaly for me. And I LOVE it!

I've been wearing it since it was finished yesterday morning and I've already got a couple of orders for it!

It's really easy to wear. You just slip it on.

I like it to rest fairly low on my hand but since the elastic cord is so rigid and sturdy, there is no fear of it falling off.

I'm planning on making one in black with an extra sparkly centre and one in lilac with the same black beads as the red one, also for me.

I have a feeling that they will be easy to wear in both winter and summer.

New Organza Flower Cuffs

I've been working on a new kind of cuff lately.

I'm still hooked on these organza flowers and coming up with all sorts of shapes, sizes and colour combinations.

But I've tried a new look by making them into what  look like bangles that you just slide on and off.

They've got a wide elastic band base that is quite thick and so holds it's shape. So you can wear it either snug-fitting on your wrist, or opt for a larger size band and wear it as a bangle with that characteristic sense of motion it creates.

I just love the way they look worn.

I can't wait to photograph them and share some more pictures.
