This week's European Street Team on Etsy challenge theme is "Folds". The theme was given by florigamigirl the previous challenge winner. My entry This time is leather crafted, embroidered with bead and weaved all over with free formed seed beaded net ROCK WHEEL CUFF
All lovely entries you can see in gr8 jewellery blog because flori has not got one for now.
And the winner will be announced later on Monday.
Now about my cuff.
It was quite a challenge to make it, as I did not work with leather for a while.
Inspired again by my Megapolis Chaos cuff (when I at last write a post about this cuff I don't know :D).The Rock Wheel made of natural cow's leather dyed in red (leather not cow), I used a lot of E6000 glue to connect all the part together. Large freshwater carved shell in the centre surrounded and weaved around with 11/0 and 8/0 metallic (hematite) seed beads, 6 mm gemstone hematite beads and bugle.
The clasp is a little leather "croissant".
And obviously the Folds are on the sides of cuff 3 each side.
Result is a blister on my finger, 5 broken needles and sore wrist off thinning the leather with the knife.
