These are bracelets that I made in June, 07. During one afternoon, Annie L. conducted a class on felting in her home. The black and color felted bracelet bases are what I made there. I held on to the strips for a couple of weeks, trying to decide what to do with them. After I found some matte black #15s, I decided to embroider onto #1. The color of the felt is actually dyed wool roving that is applied onto black roving and then felted, basically shrunk, onto it using a combination of soap, hot water, and manipulation. #1 is a wrap-around-type cuff with a round magnetic purse clasp to close it. #2 bracelet is styled to be a true cuff - the clasp is sewn onto the back of the bracelet. The bracelets have no lining. The soft wool is very comfortable against the skin, although warm. >>MPK
