Hi All, thanks for joining me in my studio.  This is the second Polymer Clay Workbench.  In this video tutorial, we'll use the bracelet form we made to make a simple, basic cuff.  The construction techniques used in this cuff can be translated into so many different styles with endless options for embellishments.  Stay tuned for the end of the video where there's a poll for the next bracelet project.  Hope you enjoy and thanks again for joining me in my studio.  Take care.
