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.

My Creative Space - Autumn Colours

These are an order I had for a set of three mini organza flowers in fall colours.

I had to include one in this golden colour which I used in my last Creative Spaces post for the first time -and just loved.

Then I made this khaki one. If you look closely, there's no real organza in it, that is, not the plain kind, so I was worried about it not fitting in with the rest. But it actualy did and it's now one of my favourites. (Yes, I realise that I say that about every one of them....)

And then came this gentle little taupe flower which is  quite subtle but it doesn't go unnoticed. The taupe organza used has quite an amazing shimer in real life.

My Creative Space - Black Ruffle Cuffs

While black is definately a safe choice for accessories, I naturaly tend to move towards happy colours instead.

Lately, however, I've been drawn to the dramatic effect of black.

This ruffle cuff is black shantung silk -which is one of my all-time favourite materials to work with-

with some black lace and a taupe cotton ribbon to tie it closed.

This one is an ice-blue cotton ruffle cuff with an extra wide black lace over it

and a pale blue-gray cotton ribbon with black trimming to tie it closed.
