I finally finished my cuff for this wondeful challenge! In the future, I would use heavier wire for the frame, but it is wearable as is. After shaping the focal piece to curve to my wrist instead of lying flat, the bracelet fit much better. I am still toying with the idea of adding a few more "tendrilly" elements, but I am leaving it as is for now.
well, well, well, I ALMOST THOUGHT THAT TIME WAS NOT ON YOUR SIDE AND YOU WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE OUR CHALLENGE. BUT WOW!!! what a cuff, I think it is truly amazing how different the three turned out. This plastic method it really interesting. I may have to get you to tutor me in it some day. right now I am still having many issuse with the wire. This challenge has been fun, come join us in another???? Penny
ReplyDeleteHee, hee Penny, you were almost right -- but I played hooky from the shop yesterday and just put my mind to getting a cuff done. I dug in boxes until I found the cd with the photo I wanted, then went to work. Next time I think I will put holes in the focal, and wire it to the frame, but part of the challenge for me was to see if I could make the frame hold the focal. It does, but I would feel better if it was wired in. I'm going to remake it with heavier wire for the frame, and then I will remake the focal as well, since I sort of messed this one up.
