Baseball Season Means Baseball Cuffs!

This is prime time season for me and the baseball cuffs aka B-Cuffs, I have been making these cuffs for years and for many team moms, wives, girlfriends and pals, from MLB friends to Little League friends, and Fans, my cuffs can be made customized to your team colors, team balls or personal balls from a family member.

All the baseballs I have in stock range from practice balls, MLB balls, used, grungy, vintage and new. Some are pink, some are hand dyed, some are team specified, designs and artwork, depends on the balls I have in stock at the time of order.Also note that I over several basic styles to make your decision easier, the Basic B-Cuff Style which is a basic baseball w/cream stitching, light color lining, a rhinestone Q for Queen of the Outfield, mini pearl border and additional crystals, this is the one main style for choosing.

The next style is the Shabby and Chic pastel cuffs, the next is grunge/vintage, another is basic stitching, no rhinestones or bling, team geared ones and some more options such as rock star edgy cuffs, artwork transfers, etc.

In addition to the baseball cuffs, its also tennis season too, so the tennis cuffs start coming in now as well, occasionally we have colored tennis balls in stock and can dye them as well.Here's an example of vintage and grunge baseballs one w/Texas AM on the cuff, the other basic red Q!All my cuffs come with a hand stitched label: LK meaning Lisa Kettell Designs, so you know its authentic and a certificate of Authenticity is emailed to each customer who purchases a cuff! These cuffs are Yankee themed colors and one is a hand stitched logo!Now many of my customers down south and especially Texas, love the bling and frou frou cuffs such as these, which I call Glamour Cuff B Style:For some New Orleans Fans:
Don't forget fave numbers and grunge:Shabby Sweet Boston Red Socks:
and sweet shoppe color:There are so many styles and ideas for you to choose, the possibilities are endless.

In the next few months the cuffs are getting another style added, contour cuff style, which bends the cuff to your wrist, this is going to be an option I recommend soon, as to not worry about size and measurements of your cuff with the clasps and jump rings. Like the baseballs the clasps all depend on what is in stock, we have some hook clasps, toggle clasps, lobster clasps, magnetic, flip over, etc. and they aren't always in stock, so please keep that in mind when ordering.

All cuffs are handmade and authentic, the cuffs and their project have been published over 50 times in the past several years, since then other versions have popped up over the web, please remember when purchasing my cuffs these are the original to my idea and there for like I mentioned earlier receive certificates of authenticity!

Also let's not forget the Tennis Cuffs, they are equally as stunning and perfect for your fave tennis star friend or yourself! Hope you enjoyed these variations of the cuffs, I look forward to your ideas and orders for your cuffs, any questions please ask!

More Custom Baseball Cuffs, aka B-Cuff!

I recently made a few more custom baseball cuffs for customers in shabby pink, Colorado Rockies, basic white, glam and a few other color styles and team spirits. I have been making these cuffs since mid 2005/2006 using recycled baseballs, many of the cuffs and their variations have been published in magazines, books and online, with more new book releases and project ideas being released about them this year and next. My cuffs can be purchased through my sites, my store and other store locations. The following images are of some of April's cuff orders and designs, My favorite is the shabby pink design, where I hand dye/rub coloring into the baseball leather. For more examples of my B-Cuff designs visit my flickr site, back blog posts or pick up some of the publications listed on the left side of the blog. Stay tuned for photos of the baseball and softball cuff necklaces, belts and purse styles, fab colors and designs, coming soon.
Note:These cuffs are the one and only original B-Cuff, if you use this idea/concept please keep in mind the many copyrights associated with them due to their design, printed matter and details, if making for re-sale of more then a few cuffs, if submitting your version to a magazine please contact me for permission, as I am flexible and try to support fellow artists and their inspirations.

Magic and Joy,
Lisa!
