Brides Wedding Cuff and an Heirloom





This is one of my favorite cuffs to make. I imagine the bride that will wear this heirloom piece and the memories it will provide.

Hydrangea are the centerpiece of this cuff with three Swavroski crystals placed to give just a glimmer of sparkle. Periwinkle, magnolia and petunias using silk, linen, metallic, and cotton embroidery thread. Open bead work on each side of the floating panel encircle the wrist with frosty white fluorite chips.


For that special day... as a keepsake for the bride, perhaps becoming "something borrowed," or passed down to a future daughter.

Big Horn Sheep


During our whirlwind trip we visited Zion National Park in SW Utah. It was absolutely incredible and pictures will never convey the beauty and awesomeness. Before I show you the park in an upcoming post....let me share with you what
w
e came upon as
we rounded a bend!



Since I couldn't get far enough away, the pictures are a bit deceptive on how steep and precarious the rocky slope they were walking around on really was. I counted about 12 sheep and they seemed unconcerned that anyone was around taking their picture. However, you could tell they were paying attention to their leader and following his path.

From inform
ation that I have read the horns can weigh up to 30 lbs each. The sheep originated in Siberia and crossed the Bering Land Bridge. At one time they numbered in the millions, but in the early 1900s the population numbered in the 1000s and with the help of the Boy Scouts the herds were restored.

I am so happy that I was able to catch a glimpse of these animals in their natural habitat.
