Always Time for Cats


Artist: Cyndi Lavin (Ayer, MA)
Polly's Pick, Found Objects & Miscellaneous

"Never pass up an opportunity to combine techniques and imagery that you love! During my busy days, I sometimes have to remind myself that there are two small furry creatures who share my house and need a turn receiving my attention. This bracelet is my reminder. I used finger-pull sliding closet door hardware to create the cabochons, with epoxy and cat images. They are mounted on ultra-suede and have embroidery embellishments in the form of cat fur and whiskers made from beads. The other alternating disks are decorated with watch faces and parts to remind me to slow down and pet the kitties." -- Cyndi Lavin


Cyndi's fun and compassionate bracelet was created using a disk-&-loop bracelet form. Included in her embellishments are size 11 seed beads, which she sewed on using size O Nymo thread and size 12 beading needles.


Polly’s Picks are designs our editor especially likes despite the fact that they did not win a formal prize. These designs are often simple, practical and/or whimsical examples of how to use Rings & Things components well.
