    I made this sweet little number for a my best friend who will be moving west this month. A little reminder to email me while he's gone. lol
    The base is hemp worked with cowry shells and the braided fringe has glass beads. I gave it to him a couple of days ago and he loves it. Yea!

    that's sweet! I guess that's the shells you were talking about then? I bet he really appreciates that gift. It always means more when someone makes something out of love instead buying them a mass produced hicky from wallyworld. Nice work!

    Thanks so much for all the positive vibes everyone! :D

    ~alabamagetaways: those are the shells that i was talking about in the pm. i've been working on some special pieces for you :D you'll have to email me pics once you put your awsome pendants on them!

    ~Cre: i used 12 strings of hemp to make this one :D

    i had made a narrow arm band for my friend before and he wore it out! lol
    They look really good on him because his arms are really sculped from tuna fishing.
    my fiance is modeling the above band and really likes them so i'll have to make a pair for him for a surprise. my "boys" love their bling. ha ha ha
