I rarely make jewelry for men but after making a bracelet for my husband of nothing by this beautiful gray Hawk Eye stone, I had to make more with it. The cut of the beads is smooth and comfortable. They lay so nicely around the wrist. When I found the Blue Hawk Eye focal bead, I had get it to go with the gray ones. The result is a masculine, sleek, bracelet that would look handsome with any attire.

Creative Reuse
I'm published!! My work is included in the recent publication of "1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse" by Garth Johnson.
The book is being sold at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. I submitted many pieces for their consideration and four items were chosen. The mermaid bracelet, was five dominoes that I inked and made into a bracelet for a special friend of mine. A one-of-a-kind piece and a work of love for sure.
The author chose three other items, all typewriter key creations...
If you'd like your own piece of "Creative Reuse", I've been listing new pieces these last few weeks, including this fun bracelet for the travel enthusiast...

Bon Voyage

Damsel
...A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772 - 1834, poet
Excert from "Xanadu - Kubla Khan"
Here is a bracelet to stir the senses, inspire romance and femininity, and bring out your inner poet!
Created with the fabulous lampwork artistry of Kerri Fuhr and framed with carved black onyx and rose quartz. This is a one of a kind creation for a one of a kind lady! (And, aren't we all?)
As with all my posts, click on the photo to go directly to the listing. Thank you.
