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.
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.
For these cuffs, I first make the wire frame that fits most wrists, then wire-wrap the specifically chosen glass beads in colorful rows. These are very comfortable to wear and can be slightly enlarged or crimped for smaller wrists.
This particular wire cuff has a sweet lampwork focal bead with a beautiful selection of Czech beads with many pastel colors like pink and green, plus some vibrant orange for contrast. No worrying about matching colors--this cuff goes with everything in your wardrobe! The frame is handmade with wire-wrapped sides. Cuffs go with everything and are very comfortable to wear. Easy on and off and can be molded to fit.
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.
Great gift idea--no sizing necessary. The perfect accessory addition to your wardrobe.
Custom cuffs are possible with an added 20% cost and a deposit.
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.

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

Ship items back within 21 days of delivery
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.
