This one-of-a-kind cuff belongs to the Ruffle Series and it's the first one in blue. There are actualy two different hues of blue: an icy, arctic blue cotton and a dark powder blue in linen. The cuff has four different layers starting with an ultra-thin cotton in ivory which is pleated. Next comes the arctic blue cotton which is also pleated, as is the dark powder blue which comes on top of that. The top layer is a re-cycled and re-purposed piece of granny's masterful vintage lace. Ribbons of grey, white and wenge brown finish it off. The brown ribbon ties around the wrist and secures the cuff into place with a bow.
This cuff won the European Street team challenge: In The Magic Castle! At the time I was watching a series about the Tudor monarchs, so it's easy to see where I found my inspiration. The jewels, the jewelery, the ruffles and flounces, the gowns, the robes! The beauty of it all!! Magnificent! So here is my modernday version of that extravagant era, with a hint of shabby chic.
The base is a vintage piece of crisp natural cotton carefuly pleated but left purposely tattered at top and bottom. Half-covering this lovely cotton is a large,truly exquisite piece of granny's crocheted lace. Look at the pictures on the right to get a closer look of this-it's such a work of art! And above these there is lace, ribons, plenty of baubles, buttons, a large bronze heart charm,zircons, gold accents and more. It fits any wrist because it ties with a cotton ribbon, securely and elegantly, in a bow.
This is the first red cuff in the Ruffle Series -which have up to now been no other colour but white. This particular cotton used here is an enticing thin cotton - so fine that it's almost gossamer-thin. It gives the cuff a feeling of lightness under the heavy crochet lace that comes over it and weighs it down. The grey ribbon that ties the cuff around your wrist or arm is a heavyweight cotton ribbon that contrasts with the delicacy of the cotton ruffles and gives it a more modern touch. Fits all sizes. Can be worn as cuff or arm band.
Made from pleated vintage white cotton and granny's vintage crocheted lace this cuff is similar to the White Queen Cuff but without the addition of that extra sparkle and fanfare suitable to a queen. The Lilac lady is just as stately and commanding of presence but with a more understated elegance. Over the cotton ruffles and beautiful lace is a lilac vintage leather ruffle trim that is further embellished with a white satin ribbon. The edges of the cotton-and one edge of the lace- have been left raw for a more contemporary shabby chic look. Expect more fraying as you wear it for that lived-in look of a favourite garment. The cuff fits any wrist as it attaches with a sturdy cotton ribbon which is long enough to make a generous bow and also hang down fetchingly for that extra sense of movement.Please look at the pictures on the right to see length of ribbon. The feel of this cuff is something you cannot see in the pictures, but the soft and sumptuous feel of the natural cotton against your wrist is realy something special.
This cuff is made of three seperate layers.
The bottom layer is a really old ultra-thin cotton the colour of ivory which is pleated and peaks out at the bottom of the cuff.
The middle layer is an ice blue cotton which is thin and crisp and also pleated.
The third and top layer is a piece of granny's superb crochet which has been recycled into this cuff. It is all topped with a white cotton ribbon that ties the cuff securely to your wrist.
