This cuff is complete. The name "Gerber Daisy Between the Lines" refers to the Tex 400 cords, (lines of color), I included.
When I last posted, I was starting to consider the fringe idea. Here is a picture of how I attached the fringe.
Keeping each strand wide apart from another, allowed the Tex 400 Warp Cords to show through.
The glass leaves are green greasy and include a gun metal bead. I made the clasp, with a butterfly accent.
With so much else going on, in this cuff, I only used the decorative clasp on one side, as opposed to adding two.
These green spiral beads are custom made lampwork. All of the findings are gunmetal.
Beautiful work Erin! I just love all of the unique elements in this piece.
ReplyDeleteOUTSTANDING! Just outstanding!

Your pieces are always beautiful. Gerber daisies are one of my favorite flowers for shape and color- to bad they don't have a scent. You captured it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much. It was a looming that actually took me on its own adventure, directing me as I loomed. The Tex 400 cords are wonderful to warp as they give a consistent weight to the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I am looming with cup chain and experimenting with a new idea. I may share some of that, but it may also be good to revisit some of my past posts. Many are worth a rerun, like "selecting the correct weft thread color" and "working bead colors for bead pattern programs" . Since I will be finalizing my book, over the next few months, this will be a good time to reiterate some good points of bead looming!
Love the Gerber Daisy cuff. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteKahnefan 59 is me, Dorrie. Just so you know, Erin! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Dorrie! I didn't know, but won't forget! All who reads this blog, Dorrie was a pupil of my bead looming class... To be honest, a "a convert" too! She creates gorgeous hand woven bead art, but then, I got her to look at looming a bit differently!
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful. I love all the finishing touches especially!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sally! I am so interested in sharing everything I know about bead looming, including my wild, crazy ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteMaravilhoso o seu trabalho. Parabéns!!!
