Finally I'm Posting New Jewelry for Dreadlocks

So, here we go! The Good Karma series. What I wanted was to create very funky but very affordable dreadlock (you can also wear them with braids) sleeves. I also didn't want to skimp at all, not on quality of the work or the beads.

I'm more than happy with what I've done with these cuffs. So woohoo! I love these sleeves. They're going to be all sizes and really more than worth the cost of purchase.

I've already posted Pretty Purple and Lemonade & Root Beer.

OH! By the way, I have a bunch of yarn up on eBay. If you're interested, check it out. Here too; that's the biggest lot of the three.

I'm going to have a contest coming up soon. If you want to win a free dread-cuff set, stay tuned!

Kill Bill Dreadlock Cuff/Sleeve

Yay! Finished and uploaded another project. This was simple but exciting as it's an homage to the first volume of Kill Bill. Good movie.

This dreadlock cuff (or sleeve) is fashioned after the yellow suit that Uma Thurman wore (which in turn was an homage to the venerable Bruce Lee).

Made with white Nymo beading thread and double stitched for extra-wear protection, this baby should last a while.

Newest Dreadlock Cuff/Sleeve Up

Newest Dreadlock Cuff. I posted it to Flickr as well as Etsy. I love making these cuffs. I find such peace of mind and an inner stillness. It's what so many people teach about in Buddhism and some people find it with yoga or building houses or running. I know I love doing beadwork because that's one of the places I find the inner stillness.


Look at the way the sun shines through those green beads! Wow! That just makes me so very happy, just to see that glow. And it makes me want some green apple candy. How about you?

The olive and cream go together so marvelously. I think all the colors complement not only each other but the film (and book) from which the inspiration to make this came. I remember when I was little watching that little girl find that secret door. The mystery of it fascinated me. I tried to make this little cuff like a mysterious treasure, a pretty little hair jewel. Hope I did a good job!
