Arts In Rhode Island

The Beaded Chick Fabric Cuff (copyright pending) is a collaboration between The Venerable Bead and Pink Lemonade Boutique . We are very excited about this marriage of Lisa's soft, feminine and colorful fabrics with Paula's glass implosions. The base fabric is a colorful cotton print while the top fabric is a rich green silk. It has been interfaced for body and the snap is magnetic. At the closure Lisa has sewn a one inch borosilicate implosion "button" or cab handmade in the flame of Paula's torch and annealed in her kiln for strength and durability. This one features a lily in yellow, green, blue and purple. The Beaded Chick Cuff is comfortable and should fit snug. The bead feels light and won't spin as long as you are measuring your wrist where you wear a watch. These cuffs are one of a kind! They are available in Paula's shop. Watch for neck cuffs coming soon!

Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered into a random drawing for an Arts In RI gift basket featuring goodies from many of our shops. (one entry per person per post. In other words you can enter once every time we post a new product!!!) Be sure to check back on the blog on Valentine's Day as we will announce the winner that day. Entries will be accepted until midnight February 13th.

Our next item is this beautiful bracelet made by Wendy Thatcher of DesignsByWendyT. Wendy says of the stones she used to make this bracelet: "These beautiful AA quality Rhodochrosite nuggets have wonderful striation in varying shades of pinks and blue-gray. Rhodochrosite is believed by some to cleanse the subconscious and allows access to higher thoughts. It is also thought to create emotional balance and assist one in increasing feelings of self-worth and self-esteem." What a wonderful gift for your Valentine. Show her you'd like to take care of her inside and out. The bracelet is 9 inches long and closes with a heart shaped sterling silver toggle. Let us know what you think of this pretty pink bracelet here in the comments and you will be entered to win a gift basket filled with goodies created by our very own Arts In RI team.
