Off the Cuff
by Nancy Vaughan.
(San Diego, California USA)
I’ve been making wire cuff bracelets for quite some time. Most of them have had a more conventional appearance.
Then one day I decided it was time to try something a little different.
The frame started out as an experiment in twisting and looping 12 gauge wire. After I finished the frame I had no idea what to do with it.
So I put it on the back of my work table and decided I would just watch it until inspiration struck.
Three or four weeks later when I was between projects I decided to see what I could create with this unusual cuff frame.
I gathered up the orphan beads, added a few extras in different sizes and began stringing them. After I finished I put it back on the work table and took a good look.
Well, it sure was different. So I tried it on and found it to be very comfortable even if it did look a bit strange.
Now it is my “Go To” bracelet when I leave the house and I must admit it does get a lot of comments.

Twists and turns

Neat to hear how this piece slowly evolved as it sat on your worktable!
I really like the intricately curvy wire frame of the bracelet – it looks like one of those pieces where the wire totally knew what it wanted to do and the design fell into place.
Great punch of color from the beads – I can see why it gets so many compliments!
