OM Bracelet

Just finished today: turquoise Miyuki seed beads and brass heishe bracelet. The bracelet is fastened with a button and features two silver charms: a feather charm and an OM charm.


Movie Tuesday

Oddly, two interesting movies in a row. This week's movie was The Giver, based on the 1993 novel by Lois Lowry. Although conservatives think this movie is about the liberal suppression of their values, the author says she was inspired to write the book by her father's decent into Alzheimer's. Some critics bash the film for various reasons, but we three movie goers found it thought provoking and interesting. Jeff Bridges plays the Giver and Meryl Streep plays the hard-hearted leader of the community. I guess we liked the movie because we have read books and seen movies in our youth like Fahrenheit 451, Soylent Green, 1984, etc.

5-Wrap Bracelet

I finished this bracelet a couple of days ago. It's all one long, long piece.
