    I would appreciate people commenting on cuff bracelets and how to
    make them fit. I have never liked wearing them myself because the
    feel uncomfortable to me, but I have found that I enjoy making them.
    One of my books says that if you can't make them custom to fit a
    particular person, then make them 6 inches long with a 1 inch
    opening. Will that fit most people? I'd like to make more before my
    next show, but I am insecure. I have made them 6 inches with 1 inch
    opening. They one inch fits me fair, but the wider one doesn't seem
    to fit that well. 

    Also, will patina stay on a cuff bracelet (on the surface) or do
    they get too much wear? 

Thanks
J.S. Ellington
