Melodies in cuff
About this design:
Cuff, made from old vinyl record. Covered with light brown salmon leather.
Box is made from record cover.
Maybe, if you listen very carefully, you can still heard the music of Schubert from this cuff, or relaxing sound of Teno-rivers waves?
Love to work with vinyl records.

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:What a great way to repurpose old records! I wouldn’t have thought they’d be flexible enough to make cuffs! Once again Arja, you are thinking out of the box! Super piece!

Eeka Mouse says:Such a cool idea… but your house must be getting very empty: the clothes are all missing their zippers, you’ve used up all the silverware, you’ve skinned the fish and the muscrats, and lately you’ve started in on the LPs and the books. What will be next? is nothing safe?
