This textile cuff bracelet started with a piece of gorgeous hand-dyed silk ribbon in rich browns. I ruffled the ribbon and chose lace and ribbon roses to go with the ruffle. I especially love working with silk and cotton, so this piece contains both. The base fabric is THICK silk brocade with cream and golden dragons. The lining is black cotton corduroy that feels super soft against your skin. The buttons are antique brass, c. 1900, including a picture button of a clown kneeling to a woman, and the other has a shell behind a layer of brass filigree.

My mother has always been an avid knitter, and she's made me drawers full of sweaters over the years. Everything she makes has some little detail or doodle, often in the collar or cuffs. When I wear these sweaters inside a jacket, the fancy details still show, which I love. Since I already make jewelry, I thought it would be fun to design fancy collars and cuffs like my mom's, but without the whole sweater. That way, I can just focus on the details, my favorite part. I stitch with so many wonderful bits and pieces. I experiment with all kinds of stitches and tricks with my needles. Each piece is a unique exploration in color and texture.

This cuff is tapered and on the large size, but you could always move the buttons to adjust the fit. The inside circumference of the cuff measures 7 inches (18 cm) at the narrow end and 8 inches on the wider one, and the elastic loops stretch another inch. The cuff is 4 inches (10 cm) wide. Hand washable, dry flat.
