It’s a jewelry box that I made for bear-bear. Honeycomb onyx tiles donated by Big D who had them compliments of a neighbor with a big heart. Golden geometry dimensions provided by Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci from his 13th century classic, Liber Abaci. Tile saw borrowed from brother Phil. Abrasives and polishing compounds gifted by The World’s Coolest In-laws. All other art, inspiration and perspiration are attributable to the man in the title and The Man Upstairs.
Treasures! Most used: blue swirly bouncy ball.

I cant wait to see this thing when it has light shining through it. Family Heirlooms for real.
I have that same CTR pendant, and one can never have too many strands of pearls. She’s a good woman already.
Mandi, couldn’t agree more about the pearls comment. Here is the skinny on the ones shown: Three strands belonged to g-ma great (bear has her middle name – Shirley). The opera length Akoyas were looped ad-hoc for a double strand during the holidays until bear pulled the one strand which made the other cinch like a noose. She can’t wear those again for a while. The Mikimoto strand was restrung by yours truly because bear had chewed the nacre off some in the front (just chipped it, really). I replaced those with the pink freshwater rounds (blasphemy, I know) in a cascade. The pink strand was the one she wore with the raw silk baby blessing dress, but it wasn’t individually knotted so we lost a bunch when it broke. The freshwater hodge-podge assorted colors/shapes was my gift to her after her first ballet performance. The four-strand knotted cluster is another opera-length from gma-Shirley. I’m planning on Silver Tahitians for her 16th b-day and maybe 7mm dangling from solid gold hoop earrings(that match her Mama’s)at baptism. I’m open to other ideas – especially about pearls.
