I know I usually only post once on Fridays, but I had to share this with you before the weekend! Uncommon Goods is sponsoring their second Art Contest and they want YOU!
Here’s your chance for your work to be seen by an Uncommon Goods Art Buyer and The Jealous Curator herself, Danielle Krysa! AND you could win 500 smackeroos plus a deal on limited editions of your work through Uncommon Goods. You can see all the details and how to enter on the Uncommon Goods Art Contest page. But you’d better scoot– deadline for entries is Monday, March 31st!

There was a time, prior to marrying Mr. F and hitting my fourth decade ( gulp! ), when I was a teeny little wisp of a thing and my wrists were so small some bracelets fell right off. Enter = my love for cuffs! Not only were they easily adjustable, but I loved ( and still love! ) their simple, bold chunkiness! So as it warms up here in Southern Cali and I begin to bare my arms to the world once again, here are a few artsy cuffs I’m loving!
We’re heading over to Palm Springs on Sunday to spend the afternoon with my cousin whom I haven’t seen since we were tweens. Supposed to be a beautiful SoCal day, think I’ll be busting out a cuff or two!
**Uncommon Goods recently sent me the Woven Wooden Cuff by Henry Wischusen for review. I’ve been looking for an organic, neutral cuff, so I was excited to receive it and try it out! The packaging for the bracelet was thoughtful, a lovely little paper box and recycled t-shirt pouch, plus I appreciated that UG included an artist’s bio with the bracelet. Artist acknowledgement always goes a long way with me! The bracelet design is beautiful, I love the intertwining wood and it looks lovely on my wrist. I do wish, though, that the wood had been covered a bit more with a resin or coating of some sort, as the edges and veneer are still a bit rough, so I will have to be careful when wearing it with more delicate fabrics. The cuff runs very small, so for women with larger wrists than mine ( and as previously mentioned, mine are pretty small! ), the fit may not be very comfortable. With all that said, though, it is a pretty little cuff, handmade, organic in material and look and I will proudly wear it all summer long, I’m sure!
Artsy Forager received material goods in exchange for the above review, but all opinions are her own.
Artsies, are you interested in seeing more product reviews on the blog? I’m still on the fence about doing them. Inquiring minds want to know..
