Leather Copper & Stone Corset Cuff Bracelet

This cuff is wet formed leather and has been sealed to maintain it's shape.  It has a huge tumble polished stone mounted in the center of the leather.  This is a very unique one of a kind piece.  With the eyelet trim and the cording, it resembles a corset, that is why I call it a corset cuff.  This cool cuff/bracelet is up for purchase on Etsy.

Fold Formed Flame Colored Copper Cuff

I wanted to create something special for my Mother in Law, Claribel, for Mother's Day.  It took several attempts to get what you will see in the photos, but, it was worth it. I love how it turned out.  I hope she does too.  I cut a piece of 3" x 6" copper and started with a fold down the center, then added two more folds on each side of the center fold.  then I folded it crossways three times.  Wow lots of flame work on this piece because you have to anneal it after every step.  Then I shaped it. I don't have a bracelet mandrel, so this is done by hand and hammer and just eyeballing it.  Then I decided to curve the edges up so it would lessen the chance of damaging her skin as she takes it on and off.  She is in her 80's, so I know her skin is very delicate.  After that, I wire brushed it and then took the torch to it.  It took a few times, but I finally got it how I wanted it.  When I finished it, I sealed it with a jewelry sealer and Voila!! Here it is, I am quite impressed with myself!! (Hee Hee)

Copper Cuffs & Bracelets

Here are more of my copper cuffs.  Some are simply copper, some are copper and sterling silver, some are copper and base metals, and some are personalized.

This cuff is X-tra large, and extra heavy

 It is made from heavy gauge copper and I have attached some Tim Holtz metal embellishments.  They are attached with rivets.  The clock is not a working clock.

 These are the different sizes ranging from newborn infant to Extra Large

 View of the inside of the X-tra large bracelet.  It has my Out On A Whim mark stamped in the copper

  This little bracelet is for my Grandaughter, Cadence

Both of these are for my GrandDaughters

 This one has been heavily textured with a cross hatch design and I have added a Sterling Silver wavy strip

 The larger bracelet is copper with a 6 gauge copper wire strip across the face of it.

 The bracelet on the left is also heavily cross hatched, but it has a brass strip of wire as an accent

Here they are all together

Larger Bracelets for Men and tiny Bracelets for Babies

I am having such a great time making these bracelets, learning a lot in the process too.  Here a few new ones.  I think I have it down now and can start listing some on Etsy and Artfire

 Two Larger Sized Bracelets

about 8".  The one on the right is for Cody, my Son.  The one on the Left is going up for sale.

 This piece has been heavily textured and I added a strip of 10 gauge brass wire for the accent piece.

Side View

 This is so cool, I have learned to create my own rivet joints using only a tiny piece of wire.  I love  attaching the accent piece like this.  It's so back in in the day, way, way, way, back in the day technique.  The Bracelet is copper, the Accent piece is brass, and the rivet is copper.

 Wow, this piece was a little harder to work.  I decided to try some 6 gauge copper wire for the accent strip. Man is that stuff stiff.

 

  Here is a close up shot of the rivet. 

I decided to make some baby bracelets. I put them with the larger bracelets so you could kind've see how tiny they are!!

 Okay, these are sooooo cute.   Shhhhhhh! These are for my new little cousins.

 Close up of Audrey's.  Okay, Okay, so the letters aren't exactly perfect.  I think it makes it look cuter.

 Brooke's Bracelet

 I am putting my stamp on the inside too.  Each bracelet is stamped with OOAW, Out On A Whim, so you know you are getting an original OOAW piece.

 Just an extra view

And another view.

These take a fair amount of time to make, but, I get to beat the heck out of stuff and nobody gets hurt, uhm, except when I smash my finger with the hanger. Now, that hurts!!
