one button bracelet with paper beads 2667
Read the tutorial showing how to make the one-button pattern here.
The paper beads are used the same way that glass or ceramic or wood beads might be used. The difference is that each bead is actually unique.
Those of you familiar with the making of paper beads know that it's a wet process using strips of paper and an acrylic glue-sealant material. The beads are made, let dry, re-coated several times and finally are ready for use.
This group was made in my studio using white glue as the adhesive and later coated with acrylic.
The beads are much lighter weight than glass but work into the weave in much the same way.

extra wide beaded cotton cuff 2628
The bigger beads are a variety of colors and shapes recalling a beach full of smooth stones. The small beads are like bubbles in the fabric.
The tensioned nylon binding thread holds the shape of this cuff and gives it some flexibility.
This one is 3 1/4" (83 mm) wide but only 1 1/8" (183 mm) inside circumference giving it a nice long proportion.
Available here.

red and grey beaded primitive tribal cuff bracelet 2483
Highly textured cotton cords bound tightly together with rows of seed beads forms this contemporary interpretation of tribal style. The framing cord is hand dyed a medium cool grey which offsets the red center cords and the red beads sewn in around the edges. Dark blue and black accents highlight the reds for a bit of contrast.
The cotton materials are soft and comfortable. Size is a "medium" about 7 1/2" (191 mm) inside circumference when closed.
A pair of loops and buttons makes a secure but easy to manage closure system. The bracelet is made from up cycled segments of hand dyed cotton cord that are arranged on a mold then sewn together with four ply nylon thread. Glass beads are worked into the edges in the seams.
The nylon thread stretches during the construction and holds tension on the fabric so the bracelet has as semi-rigid form and inherent shape.
This piece will be offered in an upcoming boutique sale. Check Finch's Holiday Time Boutique for details, place and time or visit the fiber art section of my Etsy shop to see some other designs similar to this one.

soft cotton beaded cuff rope bracelet 2480
The outside edges are rimmed with a blue and green mix of glass seed beads that are worked into the seams of the cotton piping cord.
The look is BIG but the materials are feather light and very soft to the touch. A bit of the tribal style made in new materials. This cuff is 1 7/8" (46 mm) wide and will really stand out.

Blue rope GEOmetry bangle 1449
A wedge section rope bangle bracelet made with very soft blue nylon cord. The white flecks are the four ply waxed nylon binding thread.
This bangle is made in five layers from a single piece of braided cord. Each layer is bound together horizontally then vertically with the nylon thread.
The nylon cord is very soft and low density so this bangle is flexible although it holds it's shape. The stitching creates slight distortions in the circular shape.
See other GEOmetry series rope bracelets here.
Size is medium about 8" (203 mm) inside circumference.
This is very similar to the white rope GEOmetry bangle 1640.
