Description This cuff is bead loomed with a slim burgundy satin ribbon and metallic golden seed beads. Using the ribbon as warps makes it slightly stiffer and not as slinky as my other cuffs.
I imagine wearing it to highlight a black velvet outfit ... then again I have always been partial to black velvet

I have no idea how you made it, but it looks fantastic

Thank you!! It was one of my easiest ideas, but still time consuming ... and I have to admit I like it, too. I'm thinking about making different color combinations eventually (list #48346354374 )

Thank you This was a lucky coincidence. My sister gave me the beads for Christmas and when I cleared things for my move, I stumbled upon the ribbon. I almost threw it away by accident, but fortunately I did take another peek into the bag with the scrap copper wire. No idea how it ended up in there in the first place

This is beautiful! I know nothing about bead looming...imagining that it took a really long time to make!

Thank you! Actually it should have gone faster than my other pieces because there are less beads in it, but that ribbon decided to fight me all the way

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you say that because I can't put up my whole photo set-up yet

Good luck with that. I've been meaning to do a proper setup for over a year

Ah, it's the small version. As I have to move my stuff, I have to find a new place first, once the room where it's supposed to go is finished *sigh*

Dear God that looks fantastic! How did you learn how to do this?

CatsWire In reply to merelei [2013-01-10 16:16:48 +0000 UTC]

I learned the basics of bead looming about 1.5 years ago in an online bead group after a ex-forum friend had nagged me to try it. Now I like to experiment every, now and then. There is so much to learn, but I'm very impatient about following instructions *cough cough*

Thank you!
