Well, as promised, I'm going to have a little competition to win one of my 1" cuffs. All you have to do is tell me what sort of pattern/theme you would like to see as a cuff and I will then design and make it for you. Obviously it can't be anything too detailed as I only have a 12/13 beads wide strip to work with but other than that anything goes! :oD
Just leave me a comment with your suggestion/s and I'll see what I can come up with. You've got till August 15th to get them in and I will then pick a winner at random and get it stitched and sent out before the end of August.
Here are a few more of mine:
Moroccan Cuff
Floral Cuff 2
Autumn Flowers Cuff
Leopard Print Cuff
Have fun deciding!
Oooh what a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe design possibilites are endless ... would love to have one with a polkadot design, nice well sized black polkadots on a white backgorund (so it matches my blog!) *lol*

Poppies! I love poppies! Maybe because you only have a narrow strip to work with you could just make random poppy petals on a green background?
ReplyDeleteAnother idea is ivy leaves?

Floral print please! They are all very nice!
ReplyDeleteAll good ideas! Keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, Nic for telling me how to fix the comment glitch. :o)
I love the yellow floral one that you have already done, but could you get a watch in the middle of it??

How about something inspired by the textile designs of Henry Moore? He was famous for abstract sculptures, but I drool over his sketches and textile work. Even bought a purse at the Tate Britain.
ReplyDeleteoooh glad that worked for you too donna :)

Something celtic for me, a nice slender knotwork, with the fuller edges perhaps showing a little proud of the main cuff like you did with the flower one you haven't shown here which I thought was absolutely delicious! :D
ReplyDeleteSomething in Purple and Teal..oh oh a purple and teal leopard print!
ReplyDeleteWould a black cat design be too hard??
ReplyDeleteFuny you should mention a watch, Flossy - I'd thought about that the other day but don't have any watch faces atm to try it with. Will have to order some more. :o)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Henry Moore and Celtic knotwork will require a little bit of research but I'll have a look - and Lesley, the flower cuff you mentioned was in my previous post. ;o)
I did have a thought of a purple and teal peacock-ish type thing, Danielle. I already have leopard print so could easily change the colours on that one. :o)
The black cat might have to go on a wider cuff, Helen. Not sure it'd fit into a 12 bead wide one but I shall try it and see. :o)
I would like to see a cuff inspired by a stained glass window.

What about something in a paisly pattern? I'm imgining it in pinks and teals ;D

You could do less serious designs like pacman or space invaders or nautical theme with anchors, shipwheels and those lifesaver ring things...
ReplyDeleteI think I would personally likes a floral one but based on bright 70s fabric!
Would love to see leaves - particularly in autumnal colours. I think your cuffs are really wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Paisley patterns here and what about a picot edge too
ReplyDeleteYou're all coming up with some really great ideas! :o) I think I'm gonna try and come up with a design for some/all of them at some stage so, if you don't win, watch this space!
ReplyDeletehmmm I was thinking of delft this morning and wondering if the pottery would transcribe to a cuff well ...
ReplyDeleteMy idea would be a christian name (mine would obviously be Barbara or Babs) and a personal choice of colour would be purple.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought would be black cats on a white background.
