I've been working on a more geometric line of cuffs the last few weeks. I wanted to create a few cuffs that were beautiful, yet fairly simple. I also have been working on cuffs that are not attached to the leather. I do love how they look when they are on leather, but they are not for everyone. And these cuffs are a little bit more delicate looking and dressier. Here are two of my newest cuffs.
The first one is a simple black and white cuff. I love this one, just simple circles, but so lovely. It has a modern feel to it. I finished off the cuff with a "crystal" button for a little bit of sophistication.
I love how this one turned out. I'm thinking of making myself one, just like this. It's modern and clean. Maybe I'll make a few more like this but in different colors. I can't wait to sit back down and work on different versions.
This next cuff is a little bit more "complicated." I say that only because the pattern is just a little bit more complex, yet it still is fairly simple. I only used three different shades of blue.
I love, love, love this cuff. I was so happy with how it turned out. I was worried it would be way to wide for anyone to wear (well except me because I love wide cuffs). But even though it comes in at 2 inches wide, it still has a delicate feel to it.
I really can't wait to try this one out in different color combinations. I am going to try purples next.
I really like how these two cuffs turned out. I'm glad that I went back and tried making cuffs like this again. I have a whirlwind of idea in my head right now. I'm trying to get them down on paper so that I can eventually create a wonderful finished product.

Those are both so beautiful! The graphics on the black and white one are stunning! Very retro...love it!

the second one would look amazing in shades of purple. i'm thinking green would look nice, too.

Thank you everyone for your nice comments. I'm glad my new designs are going over so well. Hopefully I'll have these up on etsy or 1000 markets soon.
