desert sunset beaded 3 button cuff bracelet 1194

This project is another that has been sitting in my partially complete box waiting for a decision about the closure design. After messing around with several ideas I worked out a nice lie-flat three button solution.


The colors are bright southwest desert inspired oranges, pinks, yellow, red and purple. Embedded glass beads emulate the treasure hidden in the folds of the earth and visible only to the mind's eye and the careful observer...

 The toggle closure system is three loops of cotton cord and buttons. The center loop passes through the red loop then secures on the center button. The two outer loops fit over the smaller buttons.

large size cotton anklet with beads 546

More in-progress photos showing the construction of the anklet. The needles hold the cord in alignment while the stitching is made across the grain.


Size is about the same as this earlier design modeled here by Kelly: http://bit.ly/6st4ht

On the loop end additional beads are stitched in the shoulders of the loop.

Here you can see the difference in width between the relaxed cords held by the needles and the compressed cords that have been cinched tight with the nylon thread.

Beads are placed at each crossing of the thread and held in place by the compressed cords.
