Well we just finally came back upstairs after over an hour in the basement with a funnel cloud spotted nearby. At least I had today's bracelet finished before the weather rolled in. It's a half inch wide copper strip with a sterling silver loop to fit into the hand-cut copper hook connector. The color blend and scattered silver patina is made by selectively melting metal in the torch flame. The bracelet is small, comfortable, and super easy to get on and off. In other news, right after the big storm our neighborhood ducks stopped by for a visit. It's still raining and clearly they're enjoying the puddles. This male and female pair of ducks have been spending spring and summers in our neighborhood for 4-5 years. They leave for the winter but they always come back to our street. We have no pond and it's a most unlikely duck habitat if you ask me, but we enjoy them!

this piece has a "slave era" feeling about it or something to be found on Ghost Adventures. It appears to be a sad piece that slaves were forced to make their own shackles and wear....
