The colour challenge for the Bead Buddies forum this month was Candy shades of Mint Green, White, Pale Blue, Lemon, Lilac and Pink.
To incorporate a lot of colours I think you need something bold and fussy, so I set about making this..... which I have named Candy Fleur Cuff.
Each little flower took between 15-60 minutes to make. In total, this piece took around 10 hours to make.
I made them in all different sizes, shapes and colours, then made a plain Peyote Cuff in Lilac for the base and sewed them all on.
For the clasp, I found a fabulous Mother Of Pearl pink button in a flower shape, then sewed a beaded flower on the top. It fastens with a simple loop sewn onto the opposite end.
I like to do "big" projects with no metal parts, therefore removing the risk of tarnish and allergies.
I enjoyed making this cuff, but I don't think I will be doing another for a little while :)
