Linen embroidered cuff...

Inspiration struck last night...

Don't you just love it when that happens, and you can actually claw together the time to act upon it???

This is what I concocted in between catching up on my Master Chef reruns for the week...

It's made from pure vintage linen, using linen thread for the stitching...

I'll be putting on Etsy in the next few days...

It was a very productive night, for both myself and those hard working chefs....

Fibre wearable art...

I think it is my Hellenic heritage that makes me want to obsessively stitch and embroider, and thrown into that mix is the requirement for those stitches to be a little haphazard and folk-y...

I guess I just don't trust perfect handmade things.

And my stuff is no exception...

This fibre cuff has a base material of pure wool...

The base is overlaid with pieces of vintage lace and sari material...

then overlaid again with pure new wool - all blanket stitched...

The lining is from a vintage sari...

And lastly - it has a hook and loop closure.
