David Winter Cottage Couture Cuff
$556.00
The challenge for me on this one was to mount the cottage without damaging its collector value in any way… hence there is NOTHING glued to it! I have left a bit of the green felted base showing and the label is intact. It was an engineering feat – everything else holds it securely in place; vintage rhinestone pins, a sachet pouch, an Alexis Bittar glowing bangle, a bolo tie, dried rose, a daisy embedded in Lucite; and of course, an old marble.
It is weighty to wear (after all it is a building!) but built on a 3” wide cuff, it is well balanced and becomes a part of shelved sculpture when not worn.

This brilliant couture cuff was quite challenging to make. The process involved the use of many different pieces to keep the cottage in place. It is perfect as a statement piece for any occasion. It is also a sculptural inspiration even while sitting on a shelf.
