Description:

I've seen a plethora of beautifully crafted items of late made to be worn on the wrists - amazing lace cuffs, elegant fingerless gloves and stylish wrist warmers (think style more than function for this swap though!) , neo-Victorian, gothic and steampunk inspired jewelry.. you name it. Don't forget the gorgeous embellishments!

For this swap:

  1. Post measurements here for around your wrist and the palm of your hand just in case its needed.

  2. You'll exchange two things to be worn on the wrists. They can be either a matched pair to be worn together or simply two separate items to be worn on the wrist of the recipient. This is sender's choice as to style and color.

  3. You'll include a note to your partner about what inspired you to choose the item and style that you chose.

  4. You'll post a picture on the forum of your creation After you know your partner has received the swap. For this reason, you need to be sure and rate the same day the swap comes in so your partner will know when to post.

Some Inspiration -

Lace Wristcuff

Lace Wristcuff

Alchemist's Daughter

These are ripe for Embellishment

Those are just a few ideas, I'm sure you can dream up your own as well! The latest issue of 'Altered Couture' also had some beautiful wrist cuffs in it, if you happen to have access.

Oh I haven't seen that one, I did see a beautiful wristcuff in Altered Couture though. I'd love to subscribe to both!

Dang, I really wanted to join one of these. But a) I need to empty out my swap list at the moment and b) I'm waiting for another swap with my lace to come in.... :)

I hope you'll host another wrist cuff or free choice wearable soon... all the ones I can find are deadline past.... :(

Sounds like a nice swap idea! Especially since I make wrist jewelry:)
