Pink Tulips Inspire a New Cuff
As promised, I have my Pink Tulip Baroque Crocheted Cuff Bracelet to show now.
This is how the tulips looked in the garden last week. When I cut some and put them in a vase, they opened out to over 7 inches in diameter. That gave me a chance to analyze the coloration more which led to the cuff itself.
The crochet of these cuffs is so detailed that I didn't want to have any visible closure. Instead I used a tiny snap to securely hold the bracelet together. Here's what the fastener side of the cuff looks like. This smooth closure is very comfortable to wear and easy to fasten too.
I've been experimenting with Photoshop to join the cuffs and their floral inspiration. The next photo is an example of my playing around with Photoshop.
Many of my friends on Facebook have expressed an interest in my making a pattern/tutorial for these cuffs.
In the meantime, and for those who don't crochet themselves, the cuff is available in my Etsy shop here.
