The First Fruits

The Love Cuff.
Featuring a slice of green chrysoprase set in rusticated sterling silver and sealed with my maker’s mark.  It slides freely along a handcrafted leather cuff that has been antiqued a fair weather blue and embossed with the word LOVE.
Built for a 6 inch wrist.
The Hope Cuff.
This leather cuff bears the word HOPE and hosts another slice of chrysoprase set in rusticated sterling silver.  My maker’s mark is tethered to it.  It’s meant for a six inch wrist.

Both pieces are one of a kind and manage to represent, 
so well,
this moment in my life.
May they go to the ladies who need them most!

:::EDIT:::
Wowwee.
Thanks so much for your support today,
wonderful women of the world.
You maybe know how this feels, but whenever I take a holiday and disappear for nearly an entire month, there’s always this little unfounded fear that you’ll have disappeared from my life and my world by the time I get back.  It’s always so good to see your bright and shining faces again.  Thanks for loving the leather.  It loves you back.

    What in the what!? Is there ANYTHING you can't do? I think not!

    Any clues as to when these beauties go on sale? I hope there is more than just two listed for all our sakes!

    Also, how much commenting can a 'stranger' do 'round these parts before they seem creepy? I am terribly worried about that ha,ha!

  11. The Noisy Plume: says

    My gosh!

    Your interest astounds. As usual. Thank you.
