Challenge cuff completed, although future design alterations are in the works

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.

Hammered bronze and sterling cuff -- day 1 -- Dawn E. Bryant

Okay, after being sidetracked by sick kids, sick hubby, sewer backups in the basement and the death of a good friend, I am finally getting started on my own cuff for this challenge. Since I love all things two-toned (gold and silver) I decided to go with bronze (for affordability) and sterling. I have formed the cuff frame and hammered it for texture. I have also made interior components out of hammered bronze, although there will be a few changes to those components. The frame and components will be held together with sterling fine gauge wire. The biggest decision for me will be whether or not to add beads. For now, no. So, off t take kids to swimming lessons, work on a beaded cabochon project and do some more work on this cuff. No rest for the weary, LOL.
