About this Product
Color, texture, and unusual designs are my passion! I prefer my own style and direction, so strive to create pieces that are different from the norm or the fad of the moment.
For these cuffs, I first make the wire frame that fits most wrists, then wire-wrap the glass beads in colorful rows. These are very comfortable to wear and can be slightly enlarged or crimped for smaller wrists.
Message me with your choice of cuff if you see something that isn't currently listed. I have new ones and more colors than are listed.
Cuffs go with everything and are very comfortable to wear. Easy on and off and can be molded to fit.
Beaded cuffs are a great gift because one size fits most, are great for any occasion, can be worn with any outfit and style, and look elegant on the wearer.
I have been privileged to visit the centuries-old family-run glass bead factories in the Czech Republic. After learning many businesses could be in jeopardy of closing because of the competition with cheaper Chinese-made beads, I made it my mission to return with others to support them and also to encourage others to purchases their beautiful, well made beads and my work created from them.
Patt711
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work. I consider myself eclectic — I weave, knit & felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
My work sells in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country. I started online as Patt711 on Etsy, and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. I have also ice-dyed textiles for an LA-based fashion designer.
If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.
How it’s Made
For these cuffs, I first make the rectangular wire frame that fits most wrists, then wire-wrap the beads in colorful rows using many different, but compatible, beads. Then the frame is carefully molded to wrist shape.
These are very comfortable to wear and can be slightly enlarged or crimped for smaller wrists.

If something is commissioned and special ordered, I will give the buyer an estimated time for shipping.

I don't accept exchanges or cancellations (unless I haven't yet shipped), but please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Conditions of return: Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
FAQ's:
Do I custom dye? Yes, I will gladly dye something for you. Because ice dyeing is very random and unpredictable, I cannot guarantee the outcome but I have many delighted customers.
