New Project - Egyptian Cuff

Gracing our frontpage is a bracelet I finished last week. I showed my husband the completed work and his first reaction was "It looks Egyptian!", hence the name 'Egyptian Cuff'.

The centrepiece is a fused glass cabochon, embroidered with Sizes 8 and 11 seed beads. The finished pendant was then stitched with flat herringbone technique for the bracelet bands. Size 8 seed beads have never been my preference in projects but in this case, I wanted to create a chunky look so the size was preferred.

This project will be offered as a class at a later time. But if you already know bead embroidery and flat herringbone stitches, give it a go, I am sure you will like it as much as I do.
