Shabby Sweet Cloth Cuffs

 

I've scheduled these for relisting in my shop.  Two of them are based on men's dress shirt cuffs as foundations for a collage of laces, buttons, trims and other pretty things.  

  

This one features some softly tumbled whelk shells, costume pearls, antique lace, and bits of fine silk, appliqued to a man's dress shirt cuff. The one below is a dress shirt cuff with antique button and cuff link, hand dyed and printed with one of my hand cut stamps.

  1. These are so dramatic and different! they're so girly, and the bottom ones even goth. i guess it brings in your doll-making side sorta. i love that you're trying such different things. i love experiments. my fave for sure is the one with shells. they look like they were made to be laid on old cotton lace.
