In between the hail showers I took some pics of the cuffs & brooches I've been making this week.
The one on the right is a request from a customer & I made a couple of bigger ones, one in the same fabric which will hopefully be in my Etsy shop soon & the top one in last weeks gauntlet fabric.
She wanted a couple of different shaped brooches, too.
Those are the 2 at the top, then I made a couple for the studio. I'll stitch the backs on while bonding with my boys (the DH & Youngest) while watching Day & Night. The preview looked silly but fun.....what more do you want in life after a hard day's work?
I decided to start another gauntlet in the sea green Neptune colors, just so Pam has choice. I like to give a bit of choice, just in case.....trying to please everybody all the time... huh. Oh & started another cuff, too.
Here's the finished gauntlet
I had a lovely card from my DH & put my engagement ring on for the day - we found it on February 14th 25 years ago in Portobello Road Market, London. It's wearing thin , the gold bit, so I don't wear it all the time, now. It's done well! ;) Mine to him is left & he cut the heart shape out for me ;)
Look what I found in my compost bin - look away if you're squeemish! I've nearly finished transferring one bin to another, exhausting work but it's got the juices flowing & I must start a plan of action in the garden, just a little at a time ;)

Your gauntlet is so beautiful.
I agree, the gauntlet is fabulous. Great cuffs too!
I love them all! We've just had through the post today a complimentary guide to Skye & Lochalsh gallery and studio trails via Clan Donald and I had to look and see if you were in and there you were! Suzy x
they are all lovely Emma....
Gorgeous cuff and I love the gauntlet.
Superb work, Emma.
They all speak your style through and through!

Gorgeous rich colored cuffs and broaches, so Emma! I bet your customer will love them. I love those worms, yeah compost working beautifully. Still to cold here for worms, which the duckies would love to devour. xox Corrine
I love your cuffs and brooches! They're colorful and unique, and I've never seen anything like them before. :)
Have you ever considered adding beads to your work? If you're interested, I can point you to blogs of some great fabric and bead artists.
Also, have you heard of the British Bead Awards? They have a category for non-beaded jewelry. http://www.thebigbeadshow.co.uk/beadawards.asp I bet you'd impress them. :)

Beautiful work Emma, love the gauntlet x
I agree with all previous comments, and I particularly like the fastenings on the gauntlet and cuff!

Lovely pieces Emma. Couldn't see the compost picture clearly so clicked to enlarge - sometimes I do really stupid things!!
I love the colours of your handcuffs and brooches here.
I have just come across your blog and have become a follower. I see you use all the materials I like to experiment with and look forward to following your work.
Lovely pieces....very much 'Emma-style'. I really like the way you've fastened the gauntlet...so swish!
As for your Valentine card...great minds think alike eh!!!!
