"sinamay" cuff

i made this cuff for the challenge in Philippine Polymer Clay Guild:) The Theme was called the Pinoy Challenge. You have to use indigenous materials in your clay project. I used sinamay, fabric made from banana plant fibers which you can find in abundance in the Philippines. It is a very nice alternative to using metal cuffs as a base. It can withstand the temp of the oven. I even baked it twice and it didn't become brittle. It supported the weight of the clay because I also put clay at the back as a support:) i really enjoyed making this one!
