This beautiful handmade cuff by Sue Gregor is made with real passion flower and sage leaves and is created by collecting, drying and pressing the individual leaves. The 100% recycled acrylic is heated and the leaves are pressed into its surface, used like stencils to apply the colours. The leaves are peeled off to reveal the unique, colourful design. This is a method of dyeing and embossing plastic, developed by Sue, called 'Fossilised Plastic' due to the fine detail that's captured on the embossed surface.
The delicate process of creating each piece means that even the veins of the leaf will show, embossed into the acrylic. This means that as well as every piece being handcrafted each cuff is also unique. It is also free from volatile organic compounds and hydrofluorocarbon, making it more environmentally friendly.

Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
