My Saul Bell Design Entry

"Night On The Town"

I entered my "Night On The Town" bracelet in the Saul Bell Design Competition today. This spike cuff is my homage to New York City, my former home. I made it entirely of beads and assembled it entirely by sewing. No glue was used. I am very happy with it. The photo credit belongs to Pat Berrett, who does all my professional shoots. He works with models often, so I am lucky to benefit from having models on hand to display my art.

I dropped my submission off at Rio Grande Jewelry Supply, which happens to be in Albuquerque where I now live. Wow, what a resource! I've never shopped there. There is no browsing, everything is warehoused. But, man, are they nice! My mom has even taken classes there when she's come out to visit me.
