As luck would have it yesterday I unearthed a pile (still in the death throes of bath remodel that has affected the whole house) of magazines and thereit was a fresh, unread February's Spaces. Your interview with Thomas Britt was wonderful. Having 10 minutes before Britt took center stage in any of our living rooms would have terrified the holy hell out of most of us. You handled it with grace, intelligence and good humor.

For Christmas last year, I made the girls (big girls) rock crystal, coral, jet, etc. (big chunks) necklaces--I loved them--they were not that different in concept than these and very DIY and affordable. Then I went to gem shows----amazing!! Definitely do something with the found coral--it is not that difficult. Thanks for this post--now I can show the girls that my designs were really "with it".... xo Marymaryhttp://mjhdesignarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-71313339167851988612010-02-23T09:09:56.142-06:002010-02-23T09:09:56.142-06:00there is a place in brookside that has a silversmi...there is a place in brookside that has a silversmith. he has made a number of things for me over the years -- rocks and such i've brought in and fashioned them into chunky necklaces. i say do it! sketch something out for a bracelet and it will get your creative juices flowing for your dining room.soodie ::https://www.blogger.com/profile/07685244187423698176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-80566980868044485082010-02-23T08:07:59.319-06:002010-02-23T08:07:59.319-06:00I love the idea of a bracelet made with the coral ...I love the idea of a bracelet made with the coral you found.
