Textile Cuff Bracelet XIII - Twilight in Gray Purple Nuno Felt with Silk
I finished a few new cuffs yesterday and listed them in my Etsy shop. The one above started as a pair, in purple and white wool (and other fibers) felted over hot pink silk fabric. When I wet felted them, the hot pink ran and dyed the white a very faint pink. I really didn't like the colors, so I cut one up as an experiment. This week, I got some black acid dye, so I was able to overdye the remaining one to make the pink into a nice middle gray. Then I beaded it using freeform bead embroidery, following the lines in the felt. I added snaps and a tag and called it done.

These textile cuffs are most beautiful and stylish!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eva. I kept the first pair I made (in all lime green with a bit of embroidery). They kept my wrists warm all last winter, and they still look almost new.
