I love fabric cuffs. I love making fabric cuffs. I want to sell some on my web. I want to sell some at the Vendor event at ArtUnraveled in August. And, I want to give some to some friends. I have completed 11. I have 70 more in various stages of being finished (I really do tend to make multiples). So far, I have made two colors sets; the white/off white ones are made with bases of my fabric squares (see my March 13, 2009 posting) and the dark ones started as the vintage kimono I recently bought. I already have ideas for more. Making cuffs is very addictive.
Each cuff is embellished with bits of fabric/lace/resin paper/buttons/beads. I have used vintage buttons, some of my own polymer buttons, bits of vintage or regular lace, papers I have covered with resin, and assorted beads to embellish my cuffs. Because I have chubby little wrists (if chubby ankles are called cankles, are chubby wrists called wrankles?), some of my cuffs are a tad longer than the standard 8 to 8 1/2 inches (I'm assuming I'm not the only chubby wristed person around).
Hi Joanne,
Love, love, love your cuffs. Do I have to attend Art Unraveled to buy one? I can't go, but I'd love to buy one of your beauties!!
Best,
Abby

Joanne I adore these! How beautiful they all are!
You were missed in PV and the 3 of us agreed that you are the most creatively industrious, and the most wonderfully supportive friend we all have!

These are stunning, as is all your work. I look forward to seeing them in person in August! xo, Fran

These are fabulous! I especially love the antique lace ones. Look terrific with your buttons (which by the way, I put on a couple of my purses, and I really should post those!)I would think these would be hits!

These are wonderfully stunning, Joanne! I am inspired...

The latest kimono one is beautiful, as are the rest of them, which I might add are absolutely stunning IRL. These photos don't do justice to the real things. I can't seem to get off the couch and you have 70 items in production at once. I think I need a lesson in motivation. Beautiful Joanne, you have a real seller here!

Holy moly! Those are gorgeous, and the fact that you've made so many is amazing too. I love them all, but I'm especially fond of the white/off white antique-looking cuffs.

Joanne these are so lovely! I bet they are snatched up...perfect item for selling at an event like that too!
I love the vintage ones but the others have a real elegant feel to them.

I just love fabric cuffs!! these are gorgeous!!!

Gorgeous! I can't believe you can come up with 70 different looks! I was wondering if you could use them as mini wallets or key holders with a small pocket on the back side. You truly are a wonder...only home for 2 days before leaving again and managing to produce so much!

They are lovely Joanne.

These are lovely. I'd call them Victorian Chic.

Love these Joanne! Is the heart one of your buttons that you make? These are really awesome...keep up the good work!
hugs to you...
