Again one of Cary's creations, this time made of highly tanned leather pained in acrylics in a pattern inspired by a Japanese kimono. It's worn as a cuff with a button/buttonhole clasp. Again this is best worn with short sleeves. The design is painted free-hand, and Cary has made easily a couple of dozen of these. I'm just lucky to have caught her on a good day, and she gave me my favorite one.

It's not surprising when you see this that she now spends most of her time designing fabric. All of her patterns that are not already purchased by big dealers are available at http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/giltgoods . This should take you to see the most lovely stuff. My other sister, Marty, took one pattern and its compliment and had a blazer tailored in India with the design on the outside and the stripe compliment as a lining, and it's the loveliest thing.
