Basketweaving 101

That's a much better name for that piece. Better than Basketweave in Gold and Silver. Booooooooooooringggg. My fingers hurt just looking at this piece by Ami Gail Designs, I'm also peeved cause it totally blows my Curly Cuff Bracelet out of the water and for that I must go knock her down. I wonder how much of a suck up a friend had to be to be deserving of such an excellent bracelet? Probably $150 worth of suck up...oh well. Good luck with that Ami!

And now, a word about our Artist:
Ami is a very talented and creative individual, also very generous.
She spends the majority of her time planning and constructing habitat homes for orphaned mosquitoes and horseflies and has quite an impressive sub division built. The rest of her time goes to sculpting prosthetic legs for all the frog amputees in her neighbourhood, (she lives two blocks down from a French restaurant that serves frog legs) and boy are they grateful. I see a Noble Peace Prize in her future for sure!

I had a hard time selecting a piece from The Vintage Jewelry Box, she has so many funky-freaky pieces but I think these re purposed garter clips are about the most inventive things I've ever seen! Definitely good for a double take! I say grab some and wear it to a PTA meeting or a church pot luck and see what turns up...I'm just twisted that way. She insists that the garters have never been worn and that's cool however, what's she doing with a pile of garter clips in the first place? Has she stocked up in anticipation of something or has she scouted around town gathering them all up? And furthermore, if she has indeed gone out and procured them, did she acquire them all at once in one place no doubt drawing a fair amount of attention or did she just kind of go about inconspicuously secreting them away? No matter, I'll entertain myself with my own answer. For $39.50 maybe you can have your answer too.

More about our Artist: When Madam is not scurrying about, rooting through the laundry rooms of local bordellos (for fashion ideas only of course), she's using acrylics to paint the St Louis Arch in Pointillism with her toes no less. She says it frees up her hands to practice for the Don Ho Championship try-outs with her Ukulele. Talented and a multi-tasker.

I never get tired of chainmaille pieces.
This one from CmyDesings is titled "Lab Work". I would seriously not recommend wearing this in a Laboratory. You could get caught in some machine with sharp pokeys and moving metal part things with the grinding and the mechanical noises and then there's beaker breakage and gooey neon liquid spillage and suddenly you're the Incredible Shrinking Woman and now you have this big honkin ass chainmaille necklace that you can no longer wear, but you just had to fucking wear it to the lab today didn't ya?!

Anyways.

Oh look, it's got a matching bracelet!

So she says that it's a one of a kind piece and can be handed down for generations.
Nahuh I don't think so...I'm taking it with me. Watch me.
For $250 they can pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.

And now, a word about our Artist:
Ms Lynn, with her perfect Soccer mom hair can be seen most days leisurely taking her Dingo dog for a stroll, who by the way really ate someones baby; and is sporting a fetching handmade dog lead, completely encrusted in Swarovski crystals created by our very own Lynn.
