This bracelet took its inspiration from the sun totem bead in the center (from Happy Mango).

I was dying to use some of the sesame jasper buttons I found locally--I was surprised they had so much pale blue-green in them. I thought they would look cool with one of the pewter totem beads I got from Happy Mango, which are apparently inspired by northwest Native American totems. It would have made more sense to use the orca one, or a salmon one (what with the watery blue greens and grays I wanted to use), but I really wanted to use a round one, which meant the sun one. But wait! This made sense. Northwest, sun, gray, vague blue-green...that IS sun in the northwest!! Very, very diffused sunshine. Like diffused by thick layers of clouds. So, it's like a joke. (Ironically the sun is shining here and it's 46 degrees. Might have to leave the house.)

ReplyDeletehow did you like the new cds, please tell me you like them. :)
gorgeous colors!! love the big metal silver bead too.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was in the mood for something complex so the first 4-5 tracks of Antics didn't grab me so I gave up on that for the moment; currently have Turn on the Bright Lights in the car player. I'm mostly liking it, but his voice takes some getting used to--not so much his singing style but the tone of it. Need to listen to it more.
