atlantis bracelet
remember in march when i was taking a casting class? yeah, well, i barely do, but i made a lot of things, and some of them have been plotting to take over the world this summer. more on that to come, but as for right now, let’s take a look at this bracelet:
this is a very raw state. it began as a sculpture of wax and hair and evolved into what you see here. i had always dreamed of having a coral branch that wrapped around my wrist, and in this object, that dream came to life. it wasn’t what i set out to do, but as i started making all the little holes, the bracelet revealed itself to me.
all of this blogging is reminding me how much i wish i had a nice camera. guess i better sell some jewelry so i can afford one! HA. Working on that. October 1st is my deadline. There, I said it. Now it’s real. Consider this a sneak preview.
i have to say, it really is crazy to see how much work this is, making everything, photographing and modeling everything, writing about it, sharing it, doing it all alone. it’s certainly not something i choose, it has just sorted out this way. I can’t afford to pay someone to do this stuff, and i’m pretty isolated in this tiny town. i’m so lucky to have the support I do, my family, Karin, Al, Jessica, Alexis, Islay, everyone back in Louisville, everyone from Kansas, new friends, old friends, teachers and classmates, even though you are at best an hour away from me, I couldn’t do it truly alone. So thank you! I would mention you all by name, but if you’re reading this, you know who you are 
Back to work!!!
love,
kelly
