Another "practice cuff" is complete.
It is lots prettier in person than in the photo.
(I may have to take some more pictures)
I wanted to try my hand at lots and lots of French knots which are the base of this new cuff. The center flowers are hydrangeas, and I'm calling the side flowers morning glories.
The cuff's closure is a mother of pearl button which really reflects the colors of the lavender and blue hydrangeas and the green leaves.
Now I'm really getting excited about starting the bridal cuff.
For now, I have a hallway to paint while I wait for my supplies to come in the mail.

Oh, Jody! I love the cuffs. They remind me of Romeo and Juliet. Your embroidery is extra-stunning.
A button and a loop? I can't tell. Maybe I could knit i-cord out of very thin yarn or thread for the loop. BEAUTIFUL! This makes me want to practice my embroidery. I am going to order Doodle Stitching.
Pom Pom,
Thank you for the compliments. I still haven't made that loop yet. Trying to decide if I should crochet some pearl floss or use an elastic. As you can see, it's not yet attached. Practice your embroidery now, you'll have fun! Yes, Doodle Stitching is a good book!

Oh Jody! It's just beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the bridal cuff if this is just an appetizer!
Wow!! It is absolutely amazing, such detail, such delicate beauty! You have a real gift there Jody. xxx
Stunning work! Well done. Can't wait to see the bridal cuff
Much love,

I am late but happy Valentines day. These cuffs are really stunning. You should make some to sell, I would buy one!! xoxox Clarice

What lovely handiwork - so beautiful and intricate! You're a talented lady!
I am totally digging these cuffs. Would you ever make them and sell them? Is there anyone else on etsy that has them (and not for $82!!!!!) if you don't?!?!?
Thanks, everybody, for your generous comments and compliments. It's very encouraging to me.
HWest, I might consider making cuffs for sale. $82 seems a very steep price to me, but the hydrangea cuff has lots of hours in it. Maybe we can talk about it.

Beautiful handiwork! I hope you'll share the bridal cuff when it's ready.
Jody, these are so pretty. Once again you have inspired me! I'm gonna try one of my own!

Beautiful! I'm mighty impressed, and I love the fact that you're a woman who spends part of her week birthing lambs and the other part making more loveliness for the world.

Jody, that's just beautiful! Love the french knot hydrangeas - so pretty! You should open an Etsy shop and sell them -- in your spare time ;).
Blessings,

Debbie,
I ordered some of the Swarvarski beads that I will use for the bridal cuff from sellers at Etsy. The felt is a wool/acrylic combo that I found from ericas.com.
