Inspired by Penny's cuff shape...

After looking at Penny's cuff shape, I decided I wanted to try a cuff that was cinched in the middle. I think the shape has a multitude of possibilities. I wanted to do all copper, like Penny's, but I couldn't find my coil of 16 gauge. So I went with brown. After working on all that weaving on the bright colored cuff, I decided to just do a simple loose wrap around one wire this time. The wire was extra stiff, so I felt like it would still be a good support. Unfortunately, I didn't do very well getting the sides to be the same length. And then I got carried away winding wire around the middle, creating unnecessary bulk. But I've decided to go ahead with it, since this is a learning opportunity. I decided since the colors are sort of tree-like, I would shape each side like a leaf. For some reason, I found shaping this into a fitted cuff more difficult than the first one. I'm not sure why. It could be because the diagonal lines were fooling my eye...
