Here is a RAW cuff that I just can't get right. I made all but the final rounds within the individual openings. I wasn't happy with the form I was getting - not curvy enough along the edges. So I will try again with a different set of 11/0's and 15/0s. I found the pattern here - it is from
Marie Noel/MarieCyber, but it is no longer available. You would need to search for Couvige in the
Histoire de perles.

| I think it is better in one color and I need to nudge some of those beads into place... |
and I'm going to try inserting some of the final embellishments to see if that puts more curve into my piece. I remember another version I saw at Perlicoti:
And above here is another Couvige by
Pascale G-M. She has filled every opening with the embellishment. I love the color of these beads. Does anyone know what they might be?
I would say purple iris metallic if I had to guess or maybe plum? I have some that look just like that and they are labeled plum. (I think artbeads carries them)
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful design...I love the classic black in the designer's picture but I also love your version - it gives the piece a complete different look. Pity the pattern is no longer available - I'd love to do one in black!
