These textile cuff bracelets were made whilst working on new ribbon scarves (because there's nothing quite like being distracted to stop all work on the thing you were supposed to be doing....)I am a complete and utter hoarder of lace and ribbon which has left me with a great pile of stuff; also my mother in law Simone gave me some fab French vintage lace a while back some of which she decided was over 80 years old (she is French and over 80 years old herself). These cuffs are worked with vintage, antique and contemporary textiles and each one is a labour of love.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever seen this type of "cuff" before. Very interesting - they must keep your wrist warm. About the tail [earlier blog], not for me. I have enough body parts.
