There is one piece of new fabric on this cuff - and that is the feather trim. I couldn't resist it!

For this one I was lucky to find enough black and gray ends to make an unpainted piece so it looks like a segment of a chess board.

It is woven onto a cotton canvas frame and the wood frame is pine from sustainable wood farms - sourced locally from a small independent company. T

The depth is 1.75" (4cm) which works great with the medium. It is ready to hang and can be hung whatever side up you prefer.

I will happily do a custom piece on different size canvas in a color theme of your choosing.
